Year 6 Residential News!

Day 1

After leaving nervous parents behind, the children have enjoyed the air conditioned journey to the D Day Museum. Catching the 5pm ferry for an additional thrill. 

After dinner of sausage and mash followed by yummy chocolate brownies, the children have some time to explore their accomodation before getting ready for their first night away.

Day 2

After a busy first day the children woke from a really good sleep ready to embrace the day ahead. 

Today the children enjoyed a morning of animal encounters: with rainforest wildlife, with lively presentations on species such as red pandas and sloths.

 At Blackgang Chine this afternoon, children joined in games, role-play, and interactive trails tied to subjects like history, geology, and creative writing, using park resources. Both venues emphasised their community and conservation commitments—Amazon World as a registered charity supporting rainforest preservation, and Blackgang Chine as a partner of Isle of Wight charity WightAid.

After a busy day, the children spent some time relaxing, exploring or playing on the beach. Everyone was tired but happy...it was a nice way to end the day.
