Charters Ancaster activity

Charters Ancaster Preparatory and Nursery Schools year 5 and 6 pupils returned exhausted and exhilarated from a five day activity break.

Twenty two children waved good bye to their parents at the beginning of the week in anticipation of an exciting time ahead.

After settling in and meeting their team leader for the week, they set about their first task, a team building exercise involving dropping balloons filled with water from a height without them breaking.
