Today, the Year 4 & 5 children have been dragged up and down many beautiful hills, moorland and woodlands exploring nature around Great Hucklow (where they have staying for the week).
The hike, which commenced at 9am this morning, after a hearty breakfast, lasted nearly 7 hours (with a few rest stops) and the children amazingly walked 11 miles in total – a superb effort. There was lots of moaning and groaning but great life experience and skills picked up learning about the local flora and fauna!
Mr Aspin was our designated orienteering person for the day and we didn’t get lost and were injury free (apart from a few nettle stings) so it’s been a successful day. Mr Farry and Miss Warbrick are probably more tired than the children are…
Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
