The children had lots of fun canoeing this morning on a small lake near the centre. Despite the rain, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves  taking part in competitions.
This  afternoon our instructor decided it was safe enough to visit the gorge. We all gasped when we saw the torrents of water rushing over the boulders – it was certainly much deeper and ferocious than I had ever seen it. However the children embraced the challenge of making their way up the gorge . They loved putting their faces in the waterfall and sliding down the rock slide . More wet clothes !!
They are taking part in orienteering round the site this evening. I think there will be some tired children tonight.

Morning All,

The children all  had a good nights sleep and woke up bright and bushy tailed. We had a very wet walk last night in teaming rain across the causeway to Fairbourne. Considering  most of us were soaked, no one moaned – what a resilient lot!.We returned to Arthog for hot chocolate and everyone was asleep by 10:30pm

We are waiting to hear our activity for the day. Gorge walking was planned but the water levels are too high so hopefully later in the week. Our leader, Ben, has just arrived and informed us we are canoeing this morning.

Hopefully we won’t get too wet!

Dear Parents and Carers,

It was lovely to welcome your children back this week. We had a good few days and the children have embraced their learning. Their behaviour has been impeccable despite the wasp infestation in the classroom! This has now been sorted.

Mrs Bernasconi will be teaching the class on a Monday and Tuesday ( and part of Wednesday afternoon).  Mrs Benson will be teaching on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. PE is on a Wednesday and Friday; please can children come in to school in their PE gear.

Some children in year 6 have started walking home alone. Please can you e mail the office or send a letter in to tell us the children have permission to do that this year. Can you do the same if you are allowing your child to walk round to the car park to meet you. It is important that we have an updated list   to ensure your children are safe.

We look forward to hopefully meeting you in person this year. If you wish to contact us, please can you email  us and we will reply as soon as possible.

Many Thanks

Mrs Benson and Mrs Bernasconi
