Year 3 has an amazing time sleeping on the field . They made fire, ate their own body weight in burgers and sausages and laughed and smiled. It was so lovely to see all the children have their own successes during the night. Thank you for supporting this and thank you to the PTFA for  funding the BBQ.  Most importantly, a massive thank you to Miss Taylor and Miss Heatley for staying overnight and starting their working day at 4am after a couple of hours sleep!

First, the people will tell you to make your potential tent but before they will show you how to do it, then after you will be told to make your bed not your sleeping bag but you will get a bed so you are not sleeping on the floor. You will be about 5 cm off the ground after you will find out who you are in a tent with after you go and get your stuff and get what you need then go and put it back. Then you will come back to the yurt and we all sang a song and had our food the option are hot dog, burger or both then you will get toled the rules for sleeping you will go to bed at about 9 O’clock you will have 5 more mins before lights out then you will wake up at 7 O’clock then you have a whole day of fun activities like:baking,den building and more but you still get your breaks and school dinner    Maxi G

We started our camp by pegging down our tents, then we made our beds by putting W shaped  metal poles into some holes in some thin fabric. It didn’t look comfy but it was so comfy to sleep in. Then we went to get our bags and got told who we were with then we unpacked our bags. After we unpacked our bags we lit a fire in the yurt and roasted marshmallows then put them in chocolate biscuits to make smores and had campfire songs. Next it was dinner, we put on a BBQ and had hotdogs and burgers and we could have cheese and salad. Then we got ready for bed, we brushed our teeth and got into PJs then we had some time in our tents to chat. We got to bed at 9 ish and woke up at 4 in the morning and did a bit of colouring and games.    Florrie S
