The children have had the best time and been amazing company throughout the trip.
It was perfectly fitting that Team Challenge was towards the end of our time here as you really showcased how well you can work together to make the amazing happen.
2026 Leavers you have been awesome.
Thank you to Mrs Brown, Mrs Bennion, Mrs Sinnett, Mrs Bennett, Mrs Moore, Miss Goyette, Ms Hayhurst and Miss Newman for making this trip possible.
Day Two Update
The day started well as the children were all great at bedtime. They then enjoyed a hearty breakfast before throwing themselves into the days activities.
Tonight we have an evening of water games after a very hot afternoon!
After a busy day, we had some chill out time by our tents and then enjoyed a delicious dinner of burger, wedges, salad bar and followed this up with waffle and ice cream.
We then headed over to the adventure playground.
The night ended with a traditional LNSPS sing song!
What a great start we have had to our residential.
We have tackled high ropes, worked as a team in the water, fired arrows, thrown axes, travelled at speed on dirt boards and braved the cave.
We are so proud of the way each and everyone of the children are embodying our values and keeping our rules of Being Ready, Being Respectful and Being Safe. It means they have got to fully enjoy all the activities and their exceptional behaviour has been commented on by all the instructors.
As the temperature cools this evening the children will make up their tents and spend some time on the adventure playground.
They have already made many wonderful memories: it is hard to believe we only left school this morning!

Breakfast was devoured and they loved their last two activities of Archery and Low Ropes and can't wait to tell you all about it.
Oyster Evening Update
As the sun has now set on our day here at Skreens the children are reflecting on what they are grateful for:
'That I am here with friends.'
'That I wasn't scared in the cave bus when I thought I would be.'
'A delicious day of 10/10 food.'
'Being in the countryside.'
We have campfire songs and toasting marshmallows still to come but it has certainly been an action packed day.
Oyster Morning Update
Oyster have already taken part in two activities. They explored some of the challenges faced with people living with visual impairment and physical difficulties as they took on Sensory Trail and Wheel Chair Challenge.

Their behaviour has all been exemplary and they are proving that the ASPIRE values are not just for in school but they support them wherever they go.
