The 'Chanse' Report

I had been waiting for this moment and finally it arrived. Year 6 had been talking about going to Lineham Farm for weeks before they even got there. Only 50% of the children in Year 6 were chosen, so this was a once in a lifetime trip (or should it be once in a school-time trip?).

When we had settled in, we got straight onto the tasks. We asked Laura Colley how she thought the week was going to go,"I hope that we have a really nice time here .I'm sure we're going to enjoy our stay", said Laura.

Hiding in the long grass.We were going to be doing a range of activities including animal care, cycling, art, orienteering, climbing and archery! There was also a farm with a variety of animals including Shetland ponies, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens. What a great place Lineham is.

The children stayed in seperate rooms with bunk beds. Girls in one room boys in another. NO mixed rooms! We were going to be split into four groups red, blue, green and yellow. Each group would be doing different activities every day. We would be doing two activities each day: one before lunch and one after.

At the end of that week I reckon I was going to be tired, but glad to have taken part in a great event! Year 5 take note ...go next year This is what school's all about.
