Dear Parents / Carers,

Year 6 Residential

The children have had a super time at Standon Bowers this week.  They have all taken part in the activities, even the ones they were a bit or a lot worried about.  They have shown fantastic examples of teamwork, resilience, support, care and so much enthusiasm.

It’s been lovely to see them out of their usual environment and having so much fun.  Some children have conquered their fears of caves and dark spaces, heights and abseiling, some children have found that they can solve problems using group ideas rather than just their own.  There has been so much laughter, which is just so good to hear.  

And the night times – they have slept so well.  The staff can’t believe how well they have all slept – especially the boys.

Well done to the children for going out of their comfort zones and trying something new.

Thank you to Mrs Sharman, Ms Master and Mrs Shaw for organising and spending the time with the children and being away from your own families.  We all appreciate this dedication from you.

Thank you to the parents for helping to get everything ready for your children.  I hope you all had a lovely week and didn’t worry too much.
