Kingswood: Mrs Johnson’s group – bouldering

Our first activity on Saturday morning was bouldering which was more challenging than it first looked. After a quick World Cup-themed warm up game, we split into pairs with a climber and a ‘watcher’ and tackled the different walls.

Kingswood: Saturday morning

We woke to find the sun shining and the children bright and bubbly, thanks to a surprisingly good night’s sleep!

Kingswood: Mrs Johnson’s group – Aeroball

As soon as we finished tea on Friday, we had our first activity which was aeroball. Imagine playing basketball on a trampoline and you’re not far off!

Kingswood: Nightwalk

After each group had finished their first activity (aeroball, giant zipwire or nightline) we all went for a walk into the woods above Colomendy. The instructors showed us how to make nettle leaves safe to eat – you can tell what some children thought about this by the expression on their faces!

Kingswood: Mrs Barker’s group – giant zipwire

Straight after tea on Friday evening, Mrs Barker’s group were faced with the giant zipwire – not for the faint-hearted but great fun including for Mrs Johnson’s group who were below the zipwire when the other group flew past!

Kingswood: Friday afternoon

A few photos showing how some of the children entertained themselves when we arrived at Colomendy – others were off exploring! 

Class 5 PE Kit

Please can all children in Class 5 bring PE kit to school today, as we have tennis coaching this morning.
Thank you.

Kingswood

Class 5 have had a great weekend at Kingswood Colomendy with fantastic weather! The adults have had to cope without a phone signal all weekend so we will get the photos uploaded as soon as possible!

Kingswood Return Time Changed

Having spoken to Kingswood this morning, we are now able to have lunch before we leave on Sunday so the coach should arrive back at Bicton at 2:30 p.m.

The signal is apparently quite ‘bad’ at Kingswood but we will do our best to upload photos to the website!
