Year Three Bristol Trip - Day 3

Wed 08 Jun 2011

Day Three -
On day three of our Residential Trip to Bristol we ended up at Crealy Theme Park near Exeter.
This wasn't our plan but the IMAX at the Aquarium in Bristol was broken so we bailed out and headed off for a completely different experience .....

The photos show us at the aquarium and I've got to point out to Theo's parents that he really is feeding broccoli to a vegetarian piranha fish - or at least that's what the guide told us all !
Having bailed out we had an action packed afternoon at Crealy - not our original plan but a great way to finish .....

North Devon Rugby

Wed 08 Jun 2011

North Devon Rugby Festival.
We attended the rugby festival at Barnstaple Rugby Club on Wednesday 8th June and both of our teams did really well.
Our B-Team reached the semi-finals and out A-Team went one step further to reach the final where we played Woolacombe School.
Unfortunately we lost our last match but it was great to finish up as runners up.

Day 3 -
Latest news... PLEASE READ!!

Imax broken down so we've now come back to Crealy Park, Nr Exeter, where we are having great fun. We aim to be back to Bradworthy this evening at 7pm.

Look forward to seeing you

Very quiet night - everyone slept well and we even had to wake a few at 8am!
We've just finished breakfast and we're just about to head to the IMAX and @Bristol.

Day 2 Update -
It's 6pm and we've just got back to the Youth Hostel after the SS Great Britain and the Zoo.

We're going to have a quick bite of tea before heading off to the cinema.
Starting to get a bit tired (at least the adults are !) but still having a great time.

Day 2 -
Everyone had a good nights sleep and we're ready for an action packed day.

Well actually we're patiently waiting for the last few stragglers to get down from breakfast so we can leave for the SS Great Britain.

Check back later for some photos from our day.

It's 11.30pm and we've all survived the first day !!!
We've had a great time and we're all feeling tired . I'm certain that everyone will be asleep before I've finished typing this sentence so that we're all fresh and ready for another busy day tomorrow - at least that's the plan.
The photos show us in the caves at Wookey Hole and making paper in the mill afterwards.

Every one had a "cool" time at the ice skating after tea (I know it's a rubbish joke but it's getting late !!!). We all went on the ice, everyone got round at least once and not a single person fell over - this last bit might not be true !!
Feel free to post comments using the following boxes and check back tomorrow for an update on how our day is going.

The Tamar Lakes.

Dartmoor

Mon 06 Jun 2011

Every Year the children in Year Six take part in our Ten Tors Dartmoor Challenge.
Sport is a huge part of our work and this is our most extreme and demanding event.
In previous years the children have planned routes and navigated themselves across over twenty miles of open moorland - often in terrible weather.
All of this obviously takes a lot of planning and preparation and these photos were taken on our first training walk - in unusually good summer weather !!!

Year Four Residential to Penzance

Sun 05 Jun 2011

Day Three: Cornwall Crealy

We spent the last day of our residential at Cornwall Crealy, having lots of fun!! Luckily there were lots of indoor play areas, but when the rain stopped we managed to get an hour outside on the rides (and get very wet on the log flume!!). We spent the day running and sliding and climbing, so the journey back to school was a surprisingly good one!

The children have been wonderful this week - their behaviour and attitude have made them stand out, and everyone we met has commented on how lovely they are and how smart they looked. They are all stars, and we are all very very proud of them!!

Day Three Update:

We have all slept brilliantly - most of us needed waking this morning! We have eaten an enormous breakfast and now we are just about to leave the hostel.

See you all at 6pm at school - if we will be much later we will ring!!

Day Two:

It's half past eleven and everyone is tucked up in bed. There are several very sleepy faces so I think it will be a quiet night (fingers crossed!).

We started the day at the National Maritime Museum and had a wonderful time building boats and racing them! The staff helped us to build successful boats this year, so we say a big thank you to Stuart, Debbie, Mike, and of course Peggy! Casper and Brendan were victorious with a boat which flew across the pond! Peter gave us the quote of the day "I am adding a cork to the bottom of the boat to make it more flamboyant!!". This entertained the staff enormously!

After lunch we headed to St. Michael's Mount and explored the castle at the top of the island. We enjoyed the ferry ride back (most of us did!!), and then headed back for tea!

Thank you to everyone who did sunshine dances and kept their fingers crossed - the weather has been great & we survived the Minack with only a few drops of rain at one point!The show was fantastic and the children have been singing the songs all the way back to the hostel.

Day Two Update...

We've all had a brilliant day, with boat races, ferry rides and a castle to explore! Photos to come later.

We've started to add some postcards to the bottom of the page - they aren't all there yet as we have to go to the Minack now. Miss Daniel will get the rest up later.

Day Two Update...

It's 8 o'clock and we are all up and raring to go!! Everyone slept well, and most of us (girls at least!!) have had a shower! We've found the games & had lots of fun - now we're off to breakfast!!

Day One Update...

We've had a very busy, but fantastic day & evening. It's quarter past eleven and everyone is asleep (for now!!). The Eden Project was lots of fun, and now we are all qualified Rainforest Rangers!

Everyone enjoyed dinner (especially Mr Moulton who had seconds & thirds!!) and then we were straight off to the cinema to see Kung Fu Panda 2.

Everyone is in very high spirits - even Mr Furber!! (and Caroline is busy plotting her revenge after he left her behind this morning!!).
