• Wilderness Day - Abseiling

  Mon 14 Nov 2022

  Today, the children headed out to County Durham for a day of abseiling with Wilderness Outdoor Education. They headed up through the fog to the location for the day. Whilst waiting for their turn they had a go at weaselling through gaps in the rock.

   

  Then it was time to take turns at abseiling down from the top. It took a lot of bravery and courage to step over the edge and walk down the cliff. The younger children were so light they had to be assisted down.

   

  The reward for their efforts was to get a freshly cooked bacon butty after eating their own packed lunches! Things taste so much better when eaten outside after doing something that has pushed you to the limits.

• Storytelling Workshop with Westmorland Dales

  Tue 01 Nov 2022

  This morning the children had a Westmorland Dales storytelling workshop with Crosby Ravensworth school. First of all they heard two local stories including the Orton Dobby.

   

  Our children then had a workshop to tell the tale of the Orton Dobby by acting it out. They had to play the parts of people that had been in the story or as judges. Did they think it was a true ghost story or one that had been made up?

   

  At the end they told ghost stories of their own.
