Activity Week 2010
 |
General Information
The Y5/6 residential trip takes place every other year and during intervening years we put together an Activity Week. In 2010 we are running an Activity Week from 17-21 May. The idea of these weeks is to give the children the opportunity of some challenging outdoor education and other cultural activities to improve their team skills and confidence before they leave us to go on to secondary school. The activities come as a package and children are expected to participate in all activities.
Educational activities beyond the usual curriculum and off site are extremely beneficial for the children and we usually try and integrate these with topics that the children have covered over the year. As usual, they will not be required to wear uniform for this week.
Monday - Grafham time ...
An early start ... for a day at Grafham Water Outdoor Activities Centre at Perry, near Huntingdon. This is an extremely popular day and we have managed to book again this year, with a variety of activities. Suitable clothing will be needed for this day, and a packed lunch. You can download a kit list to check what you will need to bring. We will leave school at 9.00am and return to school is about 5.30 pm. The Staff member leading the day is Mrs D'Escrivan accompanied by Mrs Seymour and Mr Dennington, our school Bishop's Visitor.
