Les filles sont allées se coucher et nos professeurs sont crevés. Bon nuit! 🇫🇷 The girls’ lights are out and our staff team in France are ON THEIR KNEES. Good night! 🇬🇧 😀
We have finished our week’s skiing 🎿 and are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Please don’t think that we will be bright eyed and bushy tailed when you see us, as we have been up since 4am 😴
We’ve had a fantastic week, lots of snow ❄️ sunshine 🌞 and super skiing ⛷️
Obligatory Whitby snap 📸 We’d like to say a huge well done and thank you to all of Year 5 - they have been absolute superstars and a pleasure to take away! We hope you’re looking forward to their photos, memories and laughs as much as we’ve enjoyed seeing them ☺️

We are immensely proud of the initiative and hard work shown by L in Year 6. Her fundraising not only bought a defibrillator for her neighbourhood, but it also won her the ‘Young Neighbour of the Year’ award! A very big well done, L 👏🏽

After a 25 minute walk across the cliff tops (with a brief stop to enjoy the view), we’ve arrived in Robin Hood’s Bay. The girls have learnt all about smuggling 200 years ago and have begun their mission; so far, not so good 😂

Alas patchy WiFi and dignity at work policy prevent us from sharing pictures of staff doing the penguin dance, so Year 5 are pleased to show you their lovely post-dinner marshmallows instead 😀
It looks like we have new staff at school!

It’s been another wonderful day for Year 5! Sun, fun and lots of laughs have been had by all, and we couldn’t finish our final day in Robin Hood’s Bay without an obligatory ‘Year 5 funny face’ photo because, well... we’re all awesome 🤙🏽
Hot chocolate and marshmallows because a sugar overload before bed is a good idea 😋 This is the last tweet before a relatively early bedtime, so we’ll bid you good night and see you tomorrow 👋🏽😴
