Year 6 Residential

Year 6 Residential - Day 1

14 Jul 2021

Hello everyone!

We made it to sunny Upminster for the first day of the Residential. It has been absolutely non-stop! We have done all sorts of exciting activities from the Leap of Faith to Laser Combat!

It has been amazing to see so many of the children push themselves to try new things or go further with an activity even if they might feel unsure or a little scared. Parents and carers, you should all be very proud!

Please keep checking Twitter for pictures of what we are up to. If you don't have a Twitter account you can see the school Twitter feed on the right-hand side of the home page underneath the school diary.

Please leave any messages from home in the comment section as we would love to read them to children after breakfast. Remember we love a fun pet name!

Tomorrow we are looking forward to doing some of the water-based activities!
