• Year 4 Camping Weekend 2013

  Fri 28 Jun 2013

  Our happy campers in Year 4 spent the weekend at Waddow Hall near Clitheroe. We had a fantastic time and the weather was lovely.

   

  Everybody joined in well, doing camping jobs and fun activities. Some children forgot to go to sleep on the first night, but the second night was much more peaceful!  Thank you to all the children. You were really well behaved and made the most of the whole weekend.
