Bewerley Park
A fantastic first afternoon at Bewerely Park:
We have all enjoyed our first activity at Bewerely with one group taking part in gorge scrambling and the other two groups enjoying brimming rocks!
Children are now getting their beds made and ready for the evening before we head into the dinner hall.
Later we will all be taking part in an evening activity together.
Photos to follow later as long as the connection is strong enough!

Final debate ~ pupils will tomorrow use these reasons to write a balanced argument in writing to consider both sides of the argument of Petit’s fascinating case. Pupils will conclude with revealing their own opinion on the case and the main reason that lead them to this opinion.
The children have worked as lawyers in English this morning to decide if Phillipe Petit should have been sent to prison or not following his famous walk between the Twin Towers in 1974. The boys acted as the prosecution and the girls fought from the perspective of the defence. Their final cases were fantastically convincing!
Becoming digitally literate with our computing curriculum session 1! Children recorded audio clips, inserted YouTube clips and presented work to a high standard to answer various questions based on how the media influence our thinking
