On a very hot and sticky summer evening, parents and friends of Lyndhurst’s year 4 and 6 were asked to believe in fairies as they were transported to Neverland for the summer production of Peter Pan. It was a truly memorable evening with some star solo performances, pirate humour, audience participation and a very frightening…

Recently, under blue skies, Year 6 and 5 completed their Bikeability courses. Year 5 had a intensive day’s course for Level 1 and Year 6 had sessions throughout the week. From basic bicycle maintenance to safe road use was covered. Everyone enjoyed the course and are now more confident when using their bicycles.

Miss Stocker-Jones took 10 very enthusiastic and talented children to the ISA athletics at Thames Valley Athletic Centre, Eton. The pupils showed excellent determination and supported one and other throughout the day! They all performed well in their heats and Rupert in year 3 was awarded bronze in long jump and Billy in year 6…

Wow! What a week Year 6 had in Wales.   We climbed to the tallest peaks (well, to the top of the hill anyway) we scaled mighty towers (a tower of milk crates!) and we adventured down the Amazon, okay it was across the reservoir, but you get the idea! We  began our week with…

This week the children enjoyed a whole school Geography Day. In the morning, each year group performed on stage as their prepared some facts about foreign countries or taught others basic phrases in another language. After that, the children “travelled” to different countries to learn interesting things about them and taste some national food. Some…

What a fantastic last day! The skies had clouded over, but that did nothing to dampen our enthusiasm. After several of the children joined Mr Richardson on his early morning run, we had a hearty breakfast and headed out to the dams of the valley. Each of the dams has a story and history, and…

Today has been another fantastic experience. We began with a delicious breakfast of cereal, sausage, egg, hash browns and toast. No-one is going hungry this week!! This morning we went to the crag above the dam for climbing and abseiling. The children were a bit nervous, but all willing to give it a go. Jake…

Tuesday has been a great success here in Elan Valley. We spent the morning swinging from trees, with the zip wire hugely popular, the tower-building/crate stacking challenge leading to some excellent teamwork and the infamous high-rope “leap of faith” challenge attempted by all without hesitation. Most of us did better on our second attempts! In…

Well, we all arrived safely in Wales; the children were great on the journey, no one was sick and no-one complained about how long it took. A promising start. When we got to the lodge, we began by finding our rooms and having a cup of tea (that’s the teachers). Then we all got into…

Year 6 had a fantastic trip to the Houses of Parliament in London! They set off from Camberley Station full of excitement as they wondered what the day would hold. Stories and riddles were told on the train as well as jokes and ‘I spy…’ attempts. London Waterloo was busy, and we made our way…
