    Sat 24 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Hello everybody!

     

    I have uploaded all of the photos from the year 5 Wales trip here so that they can be accessed in one go. 

     

    I hope everybody has slept well and the children are looking back on a fantastic week, they were an absolute delight to be away with, all of the staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

     

     

  • Year Five Residential Day Five

    Fri 23 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Good morning!!

     

    We are well on the road, cases loaded and the children all excited for the rides ahead. Will try and upload photos throughout the day as WiFi at Alton Towers is usually pretty good. 

     

    Will keep updated later on this evening with regards to ETA to be home, as it stands there is no reason for a delay but of course things can change throughout the day. 

     

    See you all later! 

     

    Afternoon update

     

    We have just finished riding our first ride of the day, the river rapids, our journey was delayed significantly as the third bus in our convoy, the one with 8 boys, Sarah, myself and the cases was crashed into. The children are all absolutely fine, nobody was hurt or affected by the crash, the cases didn't move and the damage to the bus is minimal. 

     

    As you can see by the below queue times we have appeared to have arrived at Alton Towers busiest day in History, despite this the children are in brilliant spirits, the sun is shining and we are all excited for our next ride.

     

    Good evening everybody.

     

    We have left Alton Towers in good time, everybody has had a great day and we managed to get on a fair amount of rides considering our limited time and queues to battle. 

     

    I will keep you updated with regards to timings, as it stands there are no concerns. 

     

    Have just left Sedgemoor services ETA 12:15am as it stands, fingers crossed that will be our final arrival time! See you soon! 

  • Year Five Residential Day Four Evening

    Thu 22 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Good evening everybody, all ready for bed after a fantastic evening where some of us watched the new Transformers film, whilst the others had a snooze! 

     

    Lots of very tired children looking forward to seeing their parents tomorrow. 

     

    Sleep well, we certainly will! 

     

  • Year Five Residential Day Four

    Thu 22 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Good morning everybody! 

     

    We are all excited and geared up, packed to the nines in our bags ready to attack the mountain today. The weather is looking good, a sprinkle of rain forecast later on in the day but the team are well equipped to tackle it if it comes. 

     

    The children are about to embark on a huge challenge today, we are very proud of how they have held themselves this week and are sure today is going to be a great success. 

     

    Good evening everybody! 

    We are down the mountain after an absolutely phenomenal day. It started off well with the weather, then my earlier optimism about the rain was squashed as we all got completely plummeted on! 

     

    Photos were few and far between as the children really did have to battle some extreme wet. 

     

    The children split off into smaller groups with one adult and an instructor each, some making their way to the top and others having wonderful experiences in different areas of the mountain, enjoying the lakes and different paths and such.

     

    Just about to have tea now then make our way to the cinema.

     

    You should all be hugely proud of your wonderful children for what they have achieved today, we are really delighted for them and the incredible effort they have put in. 

     

     

     

  • Year 5 Residential Day Three Evening

    Wed 21 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Hello everybody!

     

    Just about to get started at paintball, everybody had a terrific day doing their various activities, the weather here I must say has been phenomenal so far, hoping that continues for our Mountain climb tomorrow! 

     

     

  • Year 5 Residential Day Three

    Wed 21 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Good morning folks!

     

    After a hearty breakfast the children have set off in separate directions to the one they went yesterday, gorge-walking or Kayaking and Climbing. 

     

    Everybody slept well and got off to sleep at a very reasonable time I am very pleased to say, attention has already turned to tonight's activity of paintball, a lot of tactical discussion amongst the children is taking place which has filled the staff with dread!

     

    Have a great day and keep an eye out for pictures which I will share whenever possible. 

  • Year 5 Residential Day Two Evening

    Tue 20 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Good evening everybody.

     

    We have just returned from a fantastic evening at the local Clip and Climb centre. Lots of fun was had doing a mixture of on the wall climbing and what's known as Crazy Climb, different challenges to do with jumping, types of things to climb, scores to beat and times to best. 

     

    As you can see on the earlier post the children had an excellent day beforehand, all have packed their bags ready for more fun tomorrow and are settling into bed now.

  • Year 5 Residential Day One Evening

  • Year 5 residential day one

    Mon 19 Jun 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Morning folks, 

     

    We have just arrived at the Black Country Museum, a very successful journey with no trouble from traffic or weather. 

     

    All very excited, toileting now then off to explore! Will add photos as and when I get the chance.

     

    Afternoon everyone, we left the Black Country Museum around 4pm, heading toward Wales and the Youth Hostel now, looking to arrive for around 7pm. 

     

    A great time was had at the Museum, the children learned about all the jobs they would've been doing if they were born in that time, including shifting boats in tunnels, making nails in the blacksmiths and many more. 

     

    I will try my best throughout the week to keep everybody updated via the website, I'm previous years signal has bee  non-existent at the Hostel so I will be relying on the cloud to share with you all as often as I can.
