Spring 1
Edale 2026
Year 6 - what an amazing time we’ve had at Edale, and we couldn’t be prouder of you all!
You pushed yourselves to try new challenges, from welly wanging and teamwork games to a night hike on the very first evening (no photos of that one I’m afraid!). You showed incredible bravery abseiling at Monsal Head, squeezed your way through some very tight crevices while weasling, focused brilliantly during archery, navigated the youth hostel site through map reading to complete some orientering and worked together to conquer Jacob’s Ladder! So many of you stepped outside your comfort zones and showed real courage and determination in trying something new.
It was definitely wet and muddy at times, but you simply got on with it and made the most of every moment. Your positive attitudes, encouragement of one another and teamwork were fantastic to see.
You should be incredibly proud of yourselves - we certainly are! 🌟

Forest School
Our first week back after half term we were back into the snowy forest school. We had some hot chocolate to keep us warm while we completed some measurement activities consolidating, what we’ve been learning in our Maths lessons.
PE - Gymnastics
In PE this half term, we have been working on rolls, balances and different ways of travelling. We have used the large apparatus and considered how to travel in different ways across it and how to show different balance shapes.
Music
In music, we have been learning to play Bacharach Anorak - a piece of classroom jazz! Have a listen and see what you think. in the middle, children have improvised their own sections using the notes from the tune and maintaining the rhythm.
Bouldering Competition
Some of our Y5 & Y6 pupils were lucky enough to participate in a bouldering competition. Well Done to all those who took part – there were some tricky climbs!
