Weekly Newsletter Summer 2019 Week 4 Form 6 had the most wonderful five day trip to France and Belgium last week. Activities included visits to WW1 trenches and a moving ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres where the girls laid a wreath to commemorate fallen soldiers. The girls spoken French was put to the test at visits to local markets and when out shopping! They enjoyed a fabulous tour of Lille including a visit to the zoo and some delicious waffles at the waffle factory.
Form 4 embarked on an adventure to PGL Liddington this week. There were first time nerves in the camp but it didn’t take long to get settled in. There was ample opportunity for team-building and bonding as the girls were challenged in a plethora of different activities, both physical and mental. Although exhausted, everyone had a residential trip to remember! Form 3 had great adventures at Waltham Place Farm this week. We learnt about animal husbandry and even had a minibeast hunt. We loved the piggies!
