Can I take a very brief moment to thank all of you lovely parents for your kind words about the Twitter blogging😁 It’s a labour of love but with such super subjects to work with, who couldn’t be inspired?? The real praise is for our fabulous children & dedicated staff! 👏👏👏☺️
Good morning all, it’s a beautiful day here! We have a jam packed day ahead of us…will keep you updated of the groups activities after a delicious full English breakfast 😋
After another fabulous day in the lakes, we are all now tucked up in bed ready for our last full day tomorrow! Well done year 5, you are making us so proud!
Our wonderful group of year 5’s have arrived at Derwent Hill safe and sound and have already hit the ground running! Their first job was a tricky one…making their own beds 😱😬
Heyyyy everyone!! 😃 what’s going on?? We’re BACK!! Well....some of us are! 👍😆 and happy in our little ‘pods’.....here’s Panda Pod to kick off our Y6 roundup.....🐼❤️🐼
Massive thank you to all staff who have kindly left their families to look after our amazing pupils this week at Derwent Hill. Huge thank you Mrs Anderson for tirelessly updating Twitter and coordinating requests for even more pictures! I know it’s much appreciated. MR SPECK
Hats off to our magnificent Year 5 children. They may have initially seemed too young & small to take on this challenge but they have grown so much in resilience, determination and kindness to each other....Year 6 have a LOT to live up to come June!! Year 5, we salute you👏👏👏👏
Can I take this opportunity to thank all of you lovely parents for your kind words of support & for thanking me for the posts! Honestly, it has been a pleasure and I have LOVED every minute. Super thanks to Class 11 parents, you made me blubb! 😁💐💙 Mrs A x
Year 5 have smashed their first day in the lakes. We have some very tired children…and staff all tucked up in bed raring to go again tomorrow! Amazing start!
Our final full day of Derwent Hill has came and gone. We’ve had amazing adventures and are now all settled for a good nights sleep before home tomorrow.
And that’s it for another day! Our year 5’s are showing true resilience, pushing themselves to the limits and making memories that will last a lifetime!
