Year 4

Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful day at Whinlatter Forest. They completed an orienteering activity, which tested their map skills. They created a spark with a flint - this was quite difficult - however they soon got the knack. We finished off the day with den building and of course a play on the wooden…

Year 4 enjoyed their first squash lesson with Gavin. They practised keeping a close eye on the ball whilst manoeuvring around. I have to say Year 4 gave a very promising start - some of the children even progressed onto pancakes!
