Stubbers: Activities and Campfire

Today Year 5 have had a fun filled day of activities including high ropes and competitive raft building. The children just about managed to rescue Miss Estall from the island in the middle of the lake! Now they are sat around the camp fire talking about their peak and pit (best and worst parts) of their day, while toasting delicious marshmallows. It may well be time for some campfire songs! More updates tomorrow.
