Y2 Gym Squads in Action

These two gym teams took part in the Calderdale Under 8

Gymnastics Display earlier this week.

In front of over 1200 specta-tors, the children must have

been very nervous! However, the hard work they put in honed their routines so

that they performed them really well.

The scores of parents and staff from Old Earth joined in the cheers at the end of each

routine. A great evening.

Report by Francesca, Lauren & Zoe On the way to Timberlodge in Ingleton, we stopped at Doe Park to do Kayaking, Canoeing and sailing on in-flatable boats. It was so hot that it was good when we

fell in the water to cool down! An hour later on the minibuses we were at Ingleton. We couldn’t wait to see what our rooms were like!!!!!

Hooray, they were brilliant. We had a delicious BBQ for tea and then played

games outside. The evening finished and we watched a really funny magic show from Mr Stephens and Mr

Freeman. We woke up early on the second day and had our cooked breakfast which was really tasty. Later we went on the Ingleton Waterfalls Walk. This was 4.5

miles long and was tiring but enjoyable. After the long walk we really enjoyed swimming in the

outdoor pool—a good way to cool off. We came back to school and it was like we had been away for ages, but it was only 3 BRILLIANT days !!!!!!
