Hello from Devon!
Another great night's sleep and a fab breakfast.
Our last full day of activities and we have had some really fab ones today - abseiling, disc golf, laser tag and zip wire.
All four staff went on the zip wire and found it exhilarating!
Lunch was burger and chips and tonight we are due to have chicken curry or vege meatballs.
We are going to have the campfire tonight which we are all looking forward to.
Photos to follow.

Day 3 update.
Another good night's sleep!
Mixed weather today - sunshine and showers but warm.
The children have loved their activities this morning - axe throwing!!, climbing and aeroball.
This afternoon we are looking forward to canoeing and Jacob's ladder.
Lunch was jacket potato with a choice of fillings or a sandwich.

Some photos from our first few days - thank you for your patience whilst we sorted out the technical side.

Y6 Residential trip - Message for Parents: as all the teachers are fully focused on supervising the children throughout the day, they won’t be able to respond to calls or messages during the trip. If anything urgent arises, they will contact you directly. We completely understand that you may feel a little anxious or have worries while your children are away, and we truly appreciate your trust and support.

Evening update from the Y6 Residential Trip.
The children have tackled all the activities with enthusiasm and shown that they can work as a team.
Dinner was a choice of macaroni cheese, chicken katsu curry or quorn nuggets. Dessert was a chocolate brownie.
We have had a fun filled day and the children are now all in bed asleep.
We think we have sorted out the technology so that we can upload photos tomorrow - thank you for your patience.
