P4/5 have enjoyed going outside to help boost our numeracy skills. We took part in a scavenger hunt and developed our teamwork skills.

The children in P4/5 are off to an amazing start to the year. As well as settling into all the new class routines they have been learning how to be fantastic bucket fillers. After hearing a story about how saying and doing nice things makes us feel nice we have been focusing on compliments a lot.

Feel free to ask your child if they have filled any buckets today? I’m sure they will have.

On Wednesday evening the children went for a blindfolded rope walk and thoroughly loved it. On Thursday one group went for an all day mountain hike making use of all the skills that they had learned the previous days. The other group went Skiing again in the morning and in the afternoon went to an assault course that was designed to promote team working. Although this was a huge challenge the children all mostly had fun and learned a lot.

On Tuesday evening after dinner we played a game of rounders and then after dinner were taken out to build a fire and have some marshmallows. It was then off to bed for a well earned rest in preparation for Wednesday morning. On Wednesday one group went kayaking in the morning whilst the other were taken gorge walking. The groups then changed activities in the afternoon and the morning gorge walkers went kayaking and the other group went bouldering. Another fun day was had by all.

After settling in on day 1 we were all up bright and early (some earlier than other) and we split into our two groups for the week. In the morning one group went gorge walking and the other went bouldering. Both groups came together in the afternoon to try their hands (and feet) at Skiing. There were many challenges the children faced throughout the day and all were met with determination and resilience. Above all everyone had great fun and im sure you will see that in the pictures.
