Year Four Residential - 2012
Penzance Update - End of Day Three
The trip has now come to an end, and everyone is safely home. We had a fabulous day at Cornwall Crealy yesterday, with lots of fun on adventure areas, play centres and the rides! As you can see from the pictures below everyone finished the trip in incredibly high spirits.
Throughout the entire trip the children have been absolutely wonderful. Their excellent attitude, nature and behaviour has been commented upon everywhere that we have been, and I have been particularly impressed with their 'get stuck in' approach to everything. I would like to thank them for making the trip such an enormous success and making the past three days such fun! They should be very proud of themselves - I know that everyone in school is incredibly proud of the way that they have approached the entire experience. I would also like to thank Val Brown, Paul Moulton and Mike Furber for all of their hard work during the week making the trip run smoothly! Hopefully everyone is now enjoying a relaxing weekend ready for the week ahead!

Everyone enjoyed celebrating Libby's birthday - especially when there was cake involved! Whether Libby will ever forgive Miss Daniel for making everyone sing in the middle of Crealy is another question! |

Penzance Update - Day Three
It's almost nine oclock and we are just finishing another enormous breakfast! We are all packed and ready to go so we will be heading off to Crealy very soon! Everyone slept really well, and Miss Daniel had to do several wake up calls this morning!
Most importantly - it's Libby's birthday today so the children and teachers have had lots of fun decorating the dining room and surprising her when she walked in with a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday!!
We are all looking forward to a fun filled day at Crealy! We will see everyone at school at 6pm this evening!!
Penzance Update - Day Two
It's now nearly half past eleven and everyone is asleep. We hope you enjoy reading our postcards below!!

To Mum and Dad,
I have had loads of fun at the Eden Project. It was really cool because we got to see the statue of Mr Furber! Our team came first in the Laser Quest! I’m really looking forward to Crealy!
Lots of love from Joe xx |
Hi Everybody!
I’ve still got my tooth! I had great fun at the Laser Shooting and Me and Theo kept hiding and shooting Jordan! We had lots of fun building the boats at the museum. Ours tipped over halfway through the race though! See you tomorrow,
Love from Kai |
To Mum and Dad,
I am having an excellent time in the Youth Hostel. My favourite part was the laser shooting but our team came last! The Maritime Museum was awesome! I am looking forward to Crealy tomorrow.
Love from Lewis x x x x x x x x |
Hi Mum, Hi Dad,
I’m having an awesome time at the Eden Project and at the Maritime Museum. Guess what – Tom is going to be so jealous – we went to Laser Quest. It was fun! I’m so excited about my birthday! Missing you!
Love Libby xxx |
Hi Mum, Dad, Pets and Family
Its been great! My room is lovely and my roommates are who I wanted!! I’m looking forward to Crealy tomorrow. Missing you all.
Lots of love, Molly x x x |
Dear Mum and Dad.
I had a great time shooting everyone at Skullduggery! Missing you lots, couldn’t be bothered to buy Abi a present! I can’t wait until tomorrow at Crealy!!
Lots of love from Phoebe x x x |
Hello Mummy, Daddy, Charlotte and Albert,
Today we went to Laser Quest. I kept on surprising Mr Moulton and jumped out of corners to shoot him! We also went to the Maritime Museum – I loved it! See you tomorrow,
Lots of love Samuel xxxx |
To Mum and Dad,
I had a lot of fun at the Eden Project. The Maritime Museum was really good – I loved making the boats. Ours fell over in the race so we didn’t win! Can’t wait to go to Crealy.
From Theo x |
To Mum, Rex, Chloe and Seb,
I had a great time at Laser Quest – our team came second. At the Maritime Museum I got to go in a helicopter. I liked all of the cannons at Pendennis Castle too! Looking forward to tomorrow,
Love from Will xxx |
Hi Mum and Dad and Jess,
I have had great fun at the Eden Project. I loved the rainforest dome. Today we had fun at Laser Quest and I built a boat at the Maritime Museum. I came second in the boat race. See you tomorrow!
Love from Will xxxx |
It's almost ten o'clock, and we have just returned from a fabulous evening at Laser Tag! We were split into teams and played against one another in a pirate themed course. Everyone had lots of fun, and the blue team were victorious - winning by an enormous 20,000 points!!
As you can see from the team photos, everyone has had a great time playing Laser Quest this evening - there have been lots of requests to play again tomorrow!
We're heading off for hot chocolate before bed now. Miss Daniel will start typing up the postcards in a while, so please check back to have a look at them! We'll also check in at breakfast time tomorrow!
It's coming up to 7pm on Day Two and we have just finished our evening meal and headed up to change. Today has been action packed, and we have had an amazing amount of fun! Unfortunately the weather has scuppered some of our original plans. Luckily our back up plans have worked out well, and we had a brilliant morning exploring Pendennis Castle in Falmouth before heading to the National Maritime Museum this afternoon.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed the large guns on display at Pendennis this morning!
The girls experimenting with boat structures at the Maritime Museum and taking notes for their own designs!
The weather has once again beaten us this evening and the Minack Theatre have contacted us to tell us that the Twits has been cancelled. (We've had a sneaky look at their live webcam and we are relieved as it looks fairly miserable at the moment!!). Luckily, our second back up plan of the day has worked out (!!) and we are heading off to a laser quest centre for this evenings activity. When we get back this evening Miss D will do her best to update this properly with lots more pictures!!
Everyone has slept really well and we are currently eating an enormous breakfast before we set off on today's adventures. As you can see from the photo most of us are bright eyed and bushy tailed, and looking forward to todays activities (even the teachers!). Thank you for your messages so far - its lovely to hear from everyone while we are away! Keep checking back as we will try to update again this evening!
Penzance Update - Day One
It's just after midnight on Day One and everyone is fast asleep! We've had a fabulous evening ten-pin bowling and disco dancing, and all of the children have gone to bed with enormous smiles!
We hope you enjoy our team photos and action shots! The winners from each lane are looking forward to receiving their prizes during the week! (And Miss D is very much looking forward to her prize as she had the highest score of the evening - what will Mr Furber buy?!)
The teams for the great bowling competition of Falmouth!
Our impressive action shots - some of them even resulted in strikes!!
Everyone enjoyed their dinner before we headed to Falmouth for a game of ten-pin bowling!
It's early evening on Day One and we are just finishing our dinner and getting ready to go bowling! We've had a fabulous day at the Eden Project and really enjoyed our rainforest session!!
These photos show us during our Rainforest Rangers session where we learnt how to use plants that grow in the rainforest to help us survive. We were officially awarded a 'Rainforest Ranger' certificate which means that we passed our survival tests! William (our resident Rainforest Expert) has spent the rest of the day guarding the certificate very carefully!
Jasmine and Phoebe acted as wonderful ambassadors for the school in The Core - the hands on section of the Eden Project! They certainly recieved some funny looks!
Having arrived at the hostel we have all found our bedrooms and settled in! The staff were then kept entertained by everyone's attempts to make their beds - I'm sure the photograph below gives everyone an idea of the carnage that followed!
We are just finishing an enormous dinner and heading off for the evening! Please check back later for some amusing bowling photographs!!
The Year Four Residential Trip is to Penzance this year.
