The children worked incredibly hard, carefully planning their ideas and presenting their stories in neat final copies.

We are delighted to share some exciting news!

Today, we found out that every child in Class 3 has been selected for their work to be published in a book titled Let Creativity Fly! The book is set to be published on 6th July.

The children were absolutely thrilled by this achievement and are very proud of their work. They cannot wait to see their stories published in a real-life book!

Despite setting off in relatively good weather, the conditions changed markedly over the course of the near six hour walk and the team walked in to the finish looking pretty wet! The last two hours of the walk were completed in persistent rain. Although this only made conditions more difficult, Eveleyn, Esmay, Freddie and Daniel battled on bravely and all crossed the line with smiles on their faces. Well done to all of you for showing great resilience, incredible perseverance and wonderful team spirit. You definitely earned your medals, representing the school magnificently. You should all feel very proud of your achievement. A big thank you to Mrs Vowden for helping with the training and to the parents of our competitors for getting them to the start on time!
