We had such fun canoeing on Coombs Reservoir in kayaks. We paddled around the reservoir before playing some games in the kayaks. Afterwards anyone who wanted to go for a paddle or a swim in the water could run into the water with all their clothing and life aids. It was so cold!
Both children and adults have had a fantastic few days at Whitehall and we have returned back to school very tired but with loads of happy memories.
Day 2 of Our Whitehall Residential
Thankfully the sun was shining on us. We had a fun day rock scrambling on the Roaches. The views were amazing from the top. We also went on the Leap of Faith, the rope course and the climbing wall. In the evening we played Secret Agents with our torches in the dark trying to find the adults. Some of them were impossible to find!
We had a great first day at Whitehall. We had lots of fun running around the grounds playing a Dinosaur orientation game collecting different stamps. Then we went split into groups and some children went on the zip-wire and others went on the climbing wall - they were all very brave! We had a fun evening finding different creatures in the dark using our torches. Just before bedtime we had hot chocolate and biscuits!

We visited the Buxton crescent to learn about the water cycle.
Thank you to Pizza Express Buxton for a great morning of pizza making and eating as part of the Infant food topic.
We held our Harvest Festival in Litton Church where we received many kind donations of different foods (dried, tinned and packets). These donations will be sent to the High Peak Food Bank in Buxton. The Year 5 and Year 6 children read Harvest Poems and led our prayers. The Infant children entertained us with thier lovely singing.
The whole school joined together to perform Wind in the Willows. Congratulations to all the Junior children and especially the Year 6 for a fantastic show. The Infants were superb at learning all the words to the songs. Well done everyone!
Congratulations to the Red team for winning Sports Day this year.
Thank you to all the children who competed in our different events and for the adults who joined in with the parent sporting games.
We had a fantastic Wakes Week. The sun was shining and crowds of people came to watch the children dancing outside school. The children performed country dancing, maypole dancing, singing and even morris dancing.
We had a great day in Tideswell Dale. We carried out some fieldwork studies looking at different animal habitats. We worked with the Peak Rangers as part of being a Peak Ambassador School carrying out river studies.
