The children enjoyed investigating the different areas and uses of the castle over the years - they especially enjoyed looking at the medieval toilet in disgust!

The evening wouldn't be complete with another explore on the beach - we have all loved having it on our doorstep this week. The children enjoyed the jumping photo challenge Mrs Blake gave them and it was taken very seriously!

We're looking forward to another full day of activities today - keep posted for some more news and photo updates. In the meantime, enjoy these lovely pictures....

We had a busy evening last night with an Egg Drop Challenge complete and with some amusing chicken impressions! We then had some time to explore the beach where many children enjoyed finding crabs as new friends!

Everyone slept well during their first night at Calshot and were raring to go when the teachers got them up this morning.  After a delicious breakfast (sausages, bacon, eggs, cereal, toast, fruit), Year 6 are fuelled well for their first full day of activities. We have shooting, cycling and sailing today - check in later for some more photos!

What a day Year 6 have had at Calshot today! This morning, we perfected our aim with air rifle shooting as well as practising our speed-cycling skills in the velodrome - team work was very much needed to be starters and catchers!


After our tasty lunch, we basked in the sunshine in the sailing fun boats! It took a little time to get the hang of the steering, but we were soon sailing in a figure of eight formation around the buoys.

This evening, we’re looking forward to our Chinese meal followed by our Twilight Tudor session at Calshot Castle!

The children are having so much fun, even the adults too!

Having had a great time at Calshot during their visit last year, they were all really keen to get stuck in to more activities and boarded the coach with excitement.

We have all arrived safely and now finding our rooms!
