Hello again everyone - Mrs T here with some photos from the past two days. Technology has been kind and allowed us to get some photographs of the group who went gorging today. As you can see everyone is having a great time and enjoying the challenging activities. While one group have been gorging today, the other group have had fun kayaking and climbing outdoors. At the moment we are not able to get any photos from the kayaking group - fingers crossed!! As soon as we have more photos to share I will update again.

Hopefully tomorrow or Thursday will see the group climbing Snowdon - I am sure we will be able to share lots of happy smiling faces at the summit!

If anyone is having problems leaving a comment please feel free to send it to beckidaniel@hotmail.com, and I will upload them for you.

Hello everyone. Mrs T here with a quick update. I've 'borrowed' this picture of the hostel from a previous year, as unfortunately technology has not allowed the sending of any pictures yet. We heard from the group earlier and they were on the way to the hostel following a fantastic day in the Black Country Museum. They were expecting to arrive at the hostel at around 7pm, so I imagine they have just enjoyed a hearty dinner!

The children are all in very good spirits - and looking forward to the adventures to come this week.
As soon as we manage to get some pictures sent across I will update the page.

Class Five Survival Day

Mon 10 Jul 2017

As part of our 'Shipwrecked' topic, the children in Class Five have been lucky enough to complete a Survival Day, working with Rowland Jones from 'Bear Track Survival' at Julians Farm. The day involved loads of different activities and challenges, which helped us to understand the key principles of outdoor survival. Everyone had a great time, and we even had some really brave tasters for the 'meal worm omlette'! Please check into the Class Five page next week when there will be a report from the children based on their day.

We've had a great day at the Tate Modern, Globe Theater, St Paul's and The British Museum.
This evenings performance of Romeo and Juliet was fantastic.
We're safely back at the Youth Hostel and looking forward to Thorpe Park tomorrow.

We still can't upload photos - sorry.

We'll see you all tomorrow evening.
If we're running much later than 11.00pm we'll ring.

Morning everyone (Thursday morning that is).

We've found another hot-spot (good old BT !!!) so we can leave a quick message. I can't get photos to upload but I'm sure Becki will be able to get something up later.

We're all having a great time.

Hi everyone - Mrs T again. This is just a quick update to add some pictures of our ten pin bowling teams! The games were close, but I can reveal that the winners for each lane were: Laura, Abby P, Oliver, Ellen and Ali. The overall winner, with an amazing score of 130 was Laura! Following the bowling matches the children were going for a stroll along the embankment on their way back to the youth hostel. I imagine there will be lots of sleepy heads finding their way to bed at the moment!

Wicked was fantastic last night and we're heading for the Tate and Globe and stuff like that this morning.

Everyone has slept well and we're all looking forward to another great day.

It's a bit cooler today - thank God !!

Hello again everyone. Mrs T here with a quick update. Here are a few photos from the visit to the Natural History Muesum today. The children are currently at the theatre, no doubt engrossed in Wicked! Hopefully we will manage to get some more photos from the day transferred over later on!

London 2017

Hello everyone, Mrs T again. As promised, here are some pictures which show some of the landmarks our travellers have visited today! It's been a very busy day, and they are currently enjoying what will no doubt be a competitive game of ten-pin bowling. Today's adventures have included a trip to Westminster Abbey, The London Dungeons and the Royal Observatory. As you can see from the pictures, the children are certainly getting around, and seeing as much of the city as they can! Thank you again for all of your comments!

Hi Everyone - Mrs T here with some pictures the intrepid travellers have sent through! The internet isn't being too co-operative so far - hopefully this will improve!

Everyone is currently safely at the cinema, after a very long and hot day! After the delays getting into the city, everyone enjoyed the scenic tour in, taking in the sights such as Picadilly Circus, The Ritz and Harrods (hopefully Sir will be bringing us all back some lovely gifts!!). Once they arrived everyone enjoyed the London Eye - spooting landmarks and working out how far they will be going in their adventures this week. After they had completed their journey on the Eye, everyone enjoyed a walk through the city - taking in many sights such as Trafalgar Square, Nelson's Column, Downing Street and Horseguards Parade.

Following their dinner the group have headed off to the cinema - I don't think we would be surprised if there were some sleepy heads during the film!

Fingers crossed, and internet allowing there will be a few more photos added later on. Thanks for all your comments!
