Well done to the year 6 basketball team who competed in the Amber Valley School Sports basketball competition. They all played brilliantly and demonstrated the values and attributes of the AVSSP 'Spirit of the Games'. It was great to see the children getting involved in competitive sport with schools from across the cluster and having a great time doing it too. Well done, Team!

Greetings from the final night of White Hall! As you can see from the pictures, the children have had a very busy day again today! Some groups visited the Roaches in Staffordshire for a day of climbing and bouldering, whilst others went to Miller's Dale to abseil down the gigantic viaduct! Around the centre, the children tackled the climbing wall, the ropes course and the famous zip line. The children have all had a fantastic time so far, taking on challenges with confidence and determination. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

It's Wednesday at White Hall and the children are having a great time! We're half way through the week but the pace hasn't slackened. As you will see from the photos below, the children are pushing themselves to improve their You 22 skills- particularly team work, resilience, confidence and independence. We're very proud of all they have achieved so far but they have still have some big challenges ahead of them!

What a day at White Hall! The groups have been out and about all over Derbyshire today, with the children climbing at the Roaches, walking along the stepping at Cheedale before abseiling at Millers Dale viaduct and stream scrambling around Elwood Hall. We then played the famous a 'Haggis Bandits' around White Hall's grounds with the children working in teams to buy and sell haggis for a profit whilst avoiding the crafty haggis bandit who live in the woods. I think they'll sleep tonight... we hope!

After a bit of a delayed start, the children have all arrived at White Hall and have got stuck straight into activities around the centre and out and about in the Peak District. One team carried out the treacherous crate stack, working as a team to build a tower whilst two people were perched on top of it; one team completed some bouldering in the climbing wall; and the final group climbed into their harnesses to zoom down the zip wire. After dinner, we all trekked off into the night on the famous 'Fernilee Night Hike'. What an action-packed first day!

In our recent school elections, Callie of the Relevant Party was voted into power as our KJS Prime Minister. In the party's manifesto, the children were promised reforms to the Magic Breakfast as election pledge number one! Not one to make hollow promises, Callie and her cabinet delivered on their pledge bringing in a selection of spreads for the bagels and crumpets. Not a single bagel or crumpet was left over and we had a very happy electorate!
