We would just like to say how proud we are of all of our year 6s for their achievements this week. They have shown amazing self-belief and resilience to overcome some difficult challenges and have worked well to support each other to ensure that they could all be successful. They are all wonderful people. Now...GO TO SLEEP!

A selection of pictures from Wednesday evening and Thursday's activities. Highlights from today, a rather large hole needed digging in the wild for one of our year 6s to have a REAL wilderness experience! Another decided to lose their glasses at the bottom of the beck while scrambling this afternoon...don't worry, they were eventually found! Happy days! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. xx

Another wonderful day of activities and new challenges. The skiing proved to be a great challenge and great fun! We even manged to fit in some orienteering, mountain biking and the 'night line' activity!

What an exciting second day; canoeing down the river Esk in to Whitby harbor. We asked some interesting questions, like 'Why do the boys have pineapple hair?' and realised some very important things about ourselves, such as, 'I need a bigger head!' We also had an, 'Ahhhh, there's something spikey on me!' The day finished with a bit of alien hunting around the East Barnby site where Pauline caused us great problems and the quote of the day was, 'I've found Graham but I already had Graham. Now I've got two Grahams but they're the same alien!' Classic!

A wonderful first day had by all at East Barnby. We were greeted with bed making and being issued out waterproofs and wellies. Our two groups then went mountain biking and shelter building. We learnt that you need to use your feet to ride a bike; a right welly and a left welly are needed for your right foot and left foot; the little brown round things we find on the floor of the moors aren't always chocolate raisins and it's always best when a teacher's trousers fit properly!!
