Hill End

Year 6 had a fantastic time at Hill End last week. The children: had a barbecue, went on a nature walk, toasted marshmallows on a camp fire, celebrated a couple of birthdays, stayed up very late, got up very early, ate breakfast, did some bush craft and finally attempted a challenge trail. What an incredible trip! I'm incredibly proud of all of them.
