We have organised a fun filled activity day at Action 4 Youth Xperience, Caldecotte for Year 3 and Year 4. The children will be taking part in Archery, High Ropes, Rafted Canoes and Zorbing.
Pupils benefit enormously from the experience, both educationally and socially, and we feel certain that the course we have chosen again this year will prove to be both enjoyable and very worthwhile. As this is a ‘Day Residential’ visit, only children who pay will be able to attend. Any child not going will remain in school with access to supervised learning activities.

On Friday 5th July we will be having a sleepover in School, which will be open to children in year 4, 5 & 6. Tickets will cost £10.00 per child and places will be very limited.
Children should arrive to school for 6pm on the Friday and will need to be collected by 9.00am on Saturday morning.
Activities throughout the evening will include watching a film, outdoor games (including an assortment of inflatables) and evening snacks (hot chocolate & marshmallows). A breakfast of toast & jam/spread etc. will also be provided.
We have organised for Richard Gibson from ‘Claydayz’ to visit our Year 2 and Year 4 classes on Tuesday 2nd July.
These art workshops will be centred around Year 2’s theme of ‘Under the Sea’ and Year 4’s theme of ‘Railways’. Richard will work with each class separately – the workshops are designed to achieve an enjoyable, engaging, individual and interactive educational experience for the children. We are sure they will create some wonderful pieces of art.

This will take place at Thoroughsale Woods in Corby. They will be competing against other Greenwood Academy Trust schools. The children will need to find a number of checkpoints that will have literacy themed questions for them to answer.
The team have done really well so far and have reached the final!

'Hazard Alley' was the first purpose-built safety education centre in the UK, designed to give visitors a unique interactive learning experience. During a tour in their 'life size' village, the children will encounter a range of 'hazards' giving them the opportunity to develop vital knowledge and strategies on how to stay safe.
