On the 9^th March, a group of girls from Year 5 and 8, had a great time at Concordia Leisure Centre.  While they were travelling to Concordia, they went to Nando’s to eat before they went on an eventful trip to Concordia.  They had a great opportunity because of a generous charity called ‘the Key’.  The key is a charity, which encourages children to independently come up with a project and then to create a presentation, figure out the time, cost and how many people they need for a trip. This lets the children develop a range of skills while working together.  We did our presentation and the Key representatives thought that our trip would be good so decided to give us the grant of £500 to go on the trip.

Hannah said “it was very enjoyable and I want to go back.”  Sophie also said it was enjoyable and she thinks that they worked together as a team very well.  Tal thinks that we should go again because all of the activities were entertaining and we were very active. 

We left school at 11:45a.m. and got the mini bus to Nando’s.  We stayed there for one hour, before walking to Concordia.  The first activity was bowling.  Jess won bowling and she got 96 points.  Straight after we went swimming and we all loved it.  Climbing was the last activity and we did the Leap of Faith as well.  Rawa could not jump off so the instructor pushed her off…safely of course. We all loved it so much. 

Lena, Hannah, Tal, Rawa, Bassant and Angel enjoyed climbing best, especially the Leap of Faith.  Jess and Sophie’s favourite activity was swimming.  Alice and Lottie thought that bowling was best. The teachers also enjoyed the activities. Thank-you to the Key for giving us this great opportunity.
