It’s a little bit drizzly but that’s not going to stop nursery having fun! The children are super excited and are enjoying seeing all of the planes take off, we look forward to having a look inside one later!

Year 6 have had a good nights sleep and a big breakfast in preparation for a busy day of activities. They are enjoying canoeing and crate stacking today.

This morning has been great fun. Here are some of the children taking part in archery and the high ropes.

Our year 3 class spent the day at Gladstone Pottery Museum yesterday! They were given a tour of the working museum and painted plates in a Clarice Cliff style.

A big well done to our budding athletes from Years 4 and 5.  The children displayed a range of our school values and were a credit to Hillside, as they competed in extremely adverse weather conditions.  We had some winners who will now be going on to represent Hanley Town in the City finals. Congratulations!

The children have been caving this morning. Due to the weather, bouldering has been changed to Friday and instead, children are going into the climbing barn this afternoon. The weather may have dampened the fields but not the mood. Here are most of the class getting kitted up for climbing this afternoon.

After cookies, sweets and hot-chocolate, the children are all showered and in their pyjamas ready for their first night at Stanley Head.    

Here’s an action shot of some of the children doing team building activities. They’ve already matched a Stanley Head record for passing a cone to another team over a distance of 13 feet, without touching the floor! Super accomplishment and the children are loving their first day.
