Year 5s enjoyed 2 nights in Hathersage in the Peak District. What a fabulous time we all had! (Adults too😁😁) We completed a bike ride of the Monsal Trail, carried out a stream activity, made and raced rafts, hiked up Hathersage, had an exciting camp fire with marshmallows and went swimming.
it was so lovely to spend time with the children out of school.
Please see photographs on the residential page.
