YEAR FOUR REACHES NEW HEIGHTS BY DOMINIC BUTCHER AND SORCHA HERMON
Year 4 went on a trip to Chalfont Heights between the 12th June 2008 and the 21st June 2008. Some people went for the day, some for 2 days and a night and some even for 3 days and 2 nights. But the end result was the same. WE ALL HAD A FANTASTIC TIME! We had lots of activities to do, and these included climbing, abseiling, crawling through tunnels in the rabbit run as well as archery, swimming and playing skittles in the evening. We stayed in a building called the Rowallan Lodge. The rooms all had names of animals. They were The Rabbits, The Badgers, The Foxes, The Hedgehogs and The Squirrels. We all liked the evenings when we got hot chocolate and biscuits. What could be better! All in all Year 4 enjoyed the trip to Chalfont Heights and we would like to thank all of the teachers for organising the trip and we hope they had as much fun as we did. I, Sorcha, thought it was a great experience and here is what some other people said: I really enjoyed the swimming most of all because we soaked Mrs Powell! Laura Couves I liked archery because its one of my favourite sports. Jamie Choulerton. Owen Jefferies also liked archery. He said Its good exercise and I got a bullseye. Molly Edwards and Amelia Kendall both enjoyed rock climbing. Amelia also added I liked swimming and watching the police dogs. Josh Rooney summed it up by saying he liked EVERYTHING! It was the best trip so far Alex D Brilliant! The best trip so far! William Crisp I loved every part of it - Maia Browne I think CH was a great experience Almerin Gouws

Tuesday 3rd June 2008 Chloe McMinns Diary Entry Today we left school at 8:00am. People kept trying to eat on the bus when it wasnt the right time to but they got told they werent allowed. My partner and I listened to my I Pod music and played on her DS. I was very excited. When we got on the Euro tunnel people were very happy because we would be having lunch shortly. The train was very noisy and when the women spoke through the speakers we covered our ears because it was very loud. When we got to France we stopped in a French town to do a quiz the teachers had organised. We walked up to some battlements and looked over the wall. We were very high up and I was very scared.

Last year we collected 60,000 Tesco and Sainsbury vouchers, which the school used for new goal posts and lunchtime equipment so it would be great to beat the record this year. We must say a great thank you to Mrs Sawyer for organising counting clubs and sending the vouchers in. Also a big thank you to all the children for counting the vouchers. So far we have beaten last years total and we are still counting. This years money will be used to buy digital cameras and head phones.
