Base 8 had a fabulous day learning all about Queen Elizabeth II and why we are celebrating her Platinum Jubilee.
We made our own crowns and flags before enjoying a Jubilee picnic, finished off with a parachute game of Kings & Queens!”


Well done to the year 5/6 swimming team who came 4th in the gala on Monday .
This week’s stars of the week are…
Thomas from our Reception class was proudly showing off his medal today after taking part in a fun run in Chester at the weekend . He ran a mile without stopping!
We had a brilliant time in Arthog. The children loved it and the weather was mostly kind to us.
Activities included climbing and scrambling high above Barmouth with some wonderful views of the beach.
Children challenged themselves with a gorge walk -walking down to the beach via a gorge – with slippy rocks and no set route to navigate.
Team building was tested with a raft build. Children worked together with the instructor to build a raft which was fit to sail on.
Canoeing – children helped the instructor to join canoes together, before sailing around in them. Children had to work out how to steer the boat backwards and forward and also how to spin round in a circle before a splash off which was lots of fun!
Evening activities included a nightline, orienteering with a view and a beach walk with hot chocolate and marshmallows.
We hope that you have enjoyed all the photos on the blog while your children have been away and have enjoyed all the stories about the trip now that they are back! The wifi was not very good on Sunday night, so here are a few extra photos of our day on Sunday.
