Our Trip To Ross Creek

On Tuesday the 30th of November the year 6 children went to Ross Creek. We went to the top in a bus and walked down the track. It was a long walk. After we had morning tea in groups of 4, we got to go across a bridge and to a building that was in the middle of the water. Next we walked to the Woodhaugh Gardens. It was still drizzling when we arrived. Next once everyone had finished lunch we walked back in pairs to school. It was fun walking around Ross Creek. When we got back to school we all got 10 minutes play. Now we are doing our bookwork. Finally we will be getting prepared to go to Warrington tomorrow.


Day 2 of E.O.T.C Week


On Monday the 29th of November the year 6 pupils started their E.O.T.C. week. The first thing we participated in was a scavenger hunt around the school. We had to look for a feather, a four leaf clover, count how many tyres in the bottom playground and many other things like that.

After interval we went into two groups. One group stayed in the class and did first aid the other group went up to the top field and did tent pitching. Some people found it hard but others thought it was really easy.

At the first aid we had to get a partner and bandage their foot like they twisted their ankle. After lunch we did a thing called Mission Impossible. One task was quite hard but it wasn’t impossible for everyone. The challenge was to get a box off a platform with ropes in to a metal basket without it touching the sides. The second challenge was to get from one hoop to the other hoop that was on the other side of the field by getting along a plank then you walked across it to get to the next tyre. If you fell off you had to go back to the start. Most people fell off because some tyres had 2 people in it so it was harder. It was a really good day.
