Friday 10 October 2025 Y6: Volley Ball Skills! In PE this term, Year 6 are working on their Volleyball skills. Today they were practising 2 different ways of serving the ball over the net into the opposition's side - underhand, with a fist under the ball, and overhand where you throw the ball up and hit it over. All the pupils in the class worked well together as ever, and everyone was really resilient and determined to perfect their serves. They'll be legends on the beach next summer! Well done, Year 6.

Thursday 9 October 2025 A big decision for Shackleton and his crew! "Today we had a big decision to make. We had to decide whether to stay at Patience Camp or risk our lives to extend the journey toward open water. The crew are restless; the endless drift tries our patience as much as the cold gnaws at our bones. My crew did a great job persuading me, their spirits remain strong despite our hardships. I will let them know my decision tomorrow, once I've weighed every risk against the faint promise of rescue"

A mushroom was spotted growing in the grass too, as well as some beautiful purple flowers.
