ROBINWOOD 2017

Y6 scaled the heights, took on the Dungeon of

Doom and the Piranha Pool, and generally had

a great time on their residential visit to the

Robinwood Activity Centre in Todmorden.

Fun with Nature!

Y1/2 braved the rain and enjoyed a visit to The Yorkshire Arboretum, Y3/4 tried pond-dipping at Fairburn Ings,

and Reception had their own wildlife encounters at the Skylark Nature Reserve.

With the help of Chartwells, our Y6 chefs prepared

and served a delicious Afternoon Tea as an end-of-

year treat for their parents.

Mini-Olympics

All the children took part in our

annual celebration of sport,

competing in a range of athletic

activities.

At the end of an extremely busy term, here’s a final round-up of some recent high-

lights, plus details of the last few days and some items in preparation for next term:

to make this event such a success.

Oswald’s at the end of term, it is

very important that you have

confirmed this with the school

tled before the end of term.

Thank you.
