Condover Hall
This year we took 33 of our year 5/6 children to Condover Hall on our school residential. Our weekend started with an extremely long coach trip to Shropshire, the traffic was very busy so it took us a little longer than expected. Once we arrived we were shown to our dorm rooms, we had a short while to drop off our belongings and we then went on to our first activity. We were split into 3 groups and did various activities in these groups, sometimes we were together, but often we were doing different activities.
We all met for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was lots of delicious food to chose from and the children who often were fussy even tried new foods.
The staff at Condover Hall were all fantastic and were enthusiastic and encouraging to everyone. We hope all that went had an amazing time and maybe we can go again next year.
