Our Year 4 students enjoyed a fantastic day experiencing their own Alpha Day at the beautiful Packwood Haugh School. It was a brilliant opportunity for the children to explore the school grounds while engaging in a variety of enriching and challenging outdoor activities.
Throughout the day, students demonstrated impressive growth in leadership, speaking, and listening. They tackled teamwork challenges with enthusiasm, mastered kite flying, and delved into bushcraft—learning the art of natural camouflage during a spirited game of hide-and-seek. Beyond the physical fun, there was a strong focus on mindfulness; the children enjoyed restorative Yoga and a wellness walk where they discussed the vital importance of sustainability and protecting our planet. 🌍✨
We extend a massive thank you to Packwood Haugh for hosting such a memorable Alpha Day. Our students returned with wonderful stories and strengthened friendships, having made the most of every moment. 😊👏
