  • London Residential all Photos

    Sun 09 Jul 2023 Elliot Lewis

    Hello everybody, I hope everybody has reached some sort of recovery by now after a very long week in our nation's capital.

     

    We travelled all over London doing some absolutely wonderful things, some days leaving the Hostel at 8am, getting back as late as midnight, then getting up and doing it all over again the next day!

     

    The children worked very hard throughout the week to keep the pace of what was an immense trip, I hope the photos that were shared over the 4 days and all the ones here you may not have seen reflect what an incredible time we all had, staff and children. 

     

    We are very proud of the children, their attitude and efforts all week were brilliant to be around and a pleasure to go away with. Throughout the week we were told by strangers, police officers, staff from the places we visited and underground attendants what wonderful, well mannered children they are. They are a credit to our school and you all as parents.

    We have run into a little bit of traffic along the way, looking at closer to 12:20-12:30 arrival time. See you soon. 

     

    A quick tea stop and the last photo of the day.

    We’re on time for a midnight return.

    If this changes much we’ll post again.
     

    A great day on the rides.

    We’re just about to head back to the buses.

    We’ll be stopping for tea in an hour or two and we’ll post a “get back” time then.
     

    We’ve arrived at Thorpe Park and it’s not even eleven - the easiest drive out of London ever.
     

    Safely back at the buses and loading.
     

    Breakfast again !!!

    We’re about twenty minutes from leaving for Thorpe Park.

    We Will Rock You was amazing.

    Not a single sleeping child despite exhaustion!

    We’re all safely back in the hostel and recharging ahead of Thorpe Park.
     

    Here we are in the theatre.
     

    Sorry you’ve had to wait a bit for an update.

    We’ve been to the Globe and China Town for tea and we’re having a quick shop before We Will Rock You.
     

    We’re inside Parliament.

    Photos not really allowed.
     

    Breakfast outside Parliament.

    We’re already up-and-running!!!

    Tue 04 Jul 2023 Richard

    It’s very nearly midnight and we’ve just got back to the hostel after a very long day out and about.

    Everyone is safe and well.

    The children have been brilliant and as you can imagine they are pretty tired.

    I suspect they’ll all be asleep very quickly - I certainly hope so !!!


     

    River Trip.

    Tea.

    Bowling.

    We’re still keeping busy.
     

    We’ve had a great afternoon at the Tower - Crown Jewels and everything else too.

    We’re now waiting for a river boat which will take us on the first keg of our journey to ten- pin-bowling and tea.

    Everyone is having a brilliant time.
     

    We’ve rushed across London and we’re just about to go into the Tower.
     

    How can it be lunchtime already?
     

    We’ve reached the Natural History Museum and we’re obviously doing the dinosaurs first.
     

    … and now we’re on the move !
     

    We’ve had a very quiet night which is good.

    Here we are at breakfast - full of energy and ready for an action packed day !!!

    It’s about eleven-thirty and we’re back at the hostel.

    Everyone is safe and well - and pretty much exhausted.

    More photos tomorrow.
     

    As you can see we’re in the IMAX and no one is asleep - yet !!!
     

    We’ve done the National Gallery and made it to Leicester Square and as you can we’re eating McDonald’s.

    Everyone is great - maybe a bit tired but we’re not planning on moving for at least half an hour.

    IMAX at seven.
     

    The London Eye.

    (Some of us are in a different pod - photos later)
     

    ….. and that’s where we are now!
     

    We’ve just parked the buses and we’re heading for the Underground.
     

    We’re about an hour from London.

    Last toilet stop!!!

  • Year Five Residential Photos

    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.
