Year Six Stubbers 

Class of 2025 you are awesome. 

Friday Afternoon

The best place to be this afternoon is in the water! 

The children built on the team work skills they have developed across the last few days. 

Friday Morning 

The children slept well! All was quite by 11pm and some of the tents needed rousing for breakfast. 

Big bags have been packed and day bags ready for a final fun packed day which is all about team building. 

Yesterday one of our groups was lucky enough to take on the abseiling wall. 

The children have caved and climbed and swam and paddled.

Thursday Afternoon

We have been fuelled by a lunch of pizza baguette, salad and cookie. 

The children's manners have been commented on and we are really proud of their embodiment of our ASPIRE values. 

Thursday Morning

After all that excitement, the children settled well to sleep. They have enjoyed breakfast and are now embarking on the first activity of the day. 

We have sung happy birthday to our newest eleven year old and are looking forward to some chocolate cake, complete with candles, to celebrate later today. 

The day was finished off with a long walk, game of Bulldog and a glorious sunset. 

What fun we had yesterday! Lots of opportunities to mess around in the water and to allow others see some of our hidden talents and wilder, braver sides. It really was a great first day. 

Wednesday Afternoon

The children are having the absolute best time.

We only left home a mere seven hours ago and already new skills have been learnt, personal challenges have been overcome and lasting memories are being made. 

Day One: We have arrived!

The children have had a great morning exploring the world's best play park. They have climbed, swung and smiled their way through the morning. 

We are grateful that the weather is perfect: warm and dry but lots of cloud cover... a great way to start.

After a full on morning, the children enjoyed their lunch, reapplied sun screen, topped up water and have headed off for a range of activities: Bell Boats, High Ropes, Paddleboards, Archery and Climbing are on the fun packed timetable.  

Year Five Residential - Guideacres 

As our time at Guideacres comes to an end and life long memories have been made, we would like to say thank you to all the children for their company. They showed that our ASPIRE values aren't just for the confines of the classroom but a set of values to take with them wherever they go. We are proud of them all. 

Thank you so much to all the staff who have made this experience possible. 

Arctic Morning Update 

Arctic Class have woken and happy birthday has been sung to our newest 10 year old. 

The children are now enjoying rocket launching and have so many happy memories to share. 

"This is the best residential ever." "I loved the Pizza Wraps." Joe. 

Arctic Afternoon Update

We don't think Arctic class could be in a better spot in this heat than a shaded woodland enjoying water games. 

The slip and slide awaits! 

Arctic Have Arrived! 

This wonderful week of residential continues and Arctic are buzzing to get involved. 

They have unpacked, popped on hats, and are exploring the woods. 

Atlantic Morning Update 

Good morning. Atlantic are up and have fuelled up on breakfast. 

They have used skills learnt in school to locate points using geocahing. 

The children are tired but happy and looking forward to telling their families all about their adventures later today. 

Atlantic Afternoon 

The children have learnt many new skills today from making campfires to washing up to hanging up their wet clothes on a washing line. 

This was all after cooking themselves lunch over an open fire. 

Atlantic Morning Update 

Welcome Atlantic to Guideacres. 

The children have unpacked and settled in to camp life. They have explored the woods and are now having a lesson in fire lighting prior to cooking their own lunch. 

It is a glorious day so they have topped up sunscreen, located their hats and are drinking lots of water. 

Pacific Morning Update 

Pacific have woken up, tidied, eaten a hearty breakfast and are enjoying some geocaching. Here are some photos of the night before! 

The last 24 hours can be summed up perfectly by Leo, "Best residential yet!" and by Ollie, who had eagerly awaited the legendary Ms Hayhurst breakfast, "Amazing activities and a REALLY good breakfast." 

The children have been an absolute pleasure to spend time with and are a credit to their families and LNSPS! 

Pacific Afternoon Update

What a brilliant day it has been!

The children have had a great afternoon enjoying water games and the slip and slide. 

They are now back manning fires to cook the much anticipated pizza wraps. 

After they have washed and dried up, they have some more free play before an evening around the campfire. 

Pacific Morning Update 

An excited class of children have unpacked, applied bug spray and sunscreen and explored the woodland.

They have had their fire safety talk and practised lighting fires. Their perseverance was outstanding. 

The children are now busy collecting firewood so they can cook up a delicious lunch of jacket potatoes, hotdogs and corn on the cob. They will have this alongside a buffet of salad from the salad bar. 

Year Four Residential - Skreens Park 

Cockle Morning Update

Sleepy Cockles ate a hearty three course breakfast and got involved with a jam packed morning of activities at Skreens. A big thank you to Mrs Hayhurst, Mrs Brown, Mrs Player, Mr Cotton and Ms Brown for a wonderful residential experience.

We have earnt our dinner tonight after a full on day of activity. 

Oyster have arrived and our adventures can be summed up perfectly by Maggie: "The morning has been really fun because we got to race wheelchairs and got to wear blindfolds while doing a sensory trail. The burgers for lunch were delicious and I especially liked the salad option."

This afternoon we have caving and crate stacking to look forward to. 

Paua Evening Update 

A full on day of activities has been had by the wonderful Paua Shell class. We’ve been diving through the caves, climbing up crates, shooting at targets and balancing along the low ropes.
