Monday
Year 6's first exciting trip was to London Zoo where they saw every kind of animal you could imagine including gorillas, monkeys, penguins and reptiles. Some of the gorillas amazed pupils when they posed for photos. After a tiring day the children returned home happy but exhausted.
Tuesday
At Sanders Drapers School the children enjoyed putting together a short performance (they’re a talented bunch!). The whole day was focused on the story 'Where the Wild Things Are'. After putting together a performance including drama, dance and music, pupils created elaborate masks to wear. Without a doubt, the pupils loved the day and couldn’t wait for the next exciting adventure that was to come.
Wednesday
Adventure Island was the best activity by far (even if one pupil was sick after tackling all of the spinning roller coasters!). Despite the screams of terror coming from above, most of the fearless kids went on the Rage roller coaster – some a whopping seven times! The last ride of the day was the Water Ride. During a moment of adrenalin-fuelled fun, two girls soaked each other on the way down; they looked like they’d just been swimming under a waterfall! At the end of the day, the exhausted children cooled down with an ice-cold Calippo and a few fell asleep on the train.
Thursday
Eager pupils went by the 193 bus to Frances Bardsley where they had another great day jam-packed full of art. They began by drawing and painting their own dream street, then with their groups and finally as a whole class. After accomplishing their mission of creating a gigantic map, the tired pupils relaxed on a slow journey back home.

Friday
On the final day of Activity Week Year 6 pupils hosted a barbecue for staff. Delicious smells wafted down the corridor enticing members of staff into the small hall. They were greeted by polite waters who served them barbecued burgers, refreshing drinks and delicious home-made puddings. During the tasty meal, teachers were delighted by the entertainment on offer that included singers, dancers, a comedian and a magic act. When staff had finished their meals it was Year 6's turn to tuck into the leftovers. Yummy!

Year 6 would like to thank all the helpful members of staff who have put lots of time and effort into making this week as exciting as possible. We’d also like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Jacobs who helpfully offered to cook to the barbecue food – and did a fabulous job!!
