Year 6's Woodmill adventure

Year 6 have had a brilliant time away on our camping trip to Woodmill. We arrived on Monday evening and quickly set to work putting up our tents - which we all found very exciting!

We then had dinner, played some games and enjoyed marshmallows and songs (and the occasional selfie) around the campfire.

Then it was time for a story and bed... not that we got enough sleep..!

The next day, we were in three groups to do three different activities: archery, climbing and raft-building. Let's just say we got a bit wet on the lake... sorry parents who had to do lots of washing/drying when we got home!

We have some very tired children after all that adventuring! What a great time!

Wood mill adventure

For part of Year 6's SAT's  we  had to use the experiences from our Wood mill camping trip in a adventure story we had to write we had to include the activities of:Tunneling, Rock climbing,Raft building or Archery. For some of us it was a real challenge to include everything to get our levels for when we move up to secondary school.First we used a story mountain to plan it but then we wrote it on google docs and if we did that we could change it round and have the beginning somewhere else.If our story is successful then we will achieve good levels for our SAT's.We all hope all of our levels are good for all of our tests that we have successfully completed.

My story was about a family and two girls called Jennifer and Lucy.  In the middle of the night they heard howling and scratching on the side of their tent and found an owl; so they followed it and got on a neglected canoe. But they capsized!  They got split up and Lucy couldn't swim.  Jennifer tried looking for her but she couldn't find her.  She ran back to the camp and called the mum and dad and they found her clinging onto a branch so they helped her out.

More Woodmill fun!

Year 6 at Woodmill

The Year 6 children are at Woodmill! Accompanied by Miss Lott, Miss Jones, Mrs Cook, Ged (a school governor) and Mr Fairbank, the Year 6 started their camping adventure. This involved a meal all together, playing ball games and a dusk walk (where we spotted a deer). We sat around a camp fire and toasted marshmallows and then got ourselves sorted for bed. The night was cold and some sleep was had. Here are some photos of what has happened so far.
