I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that Colomendy cannot go ahead this school year as planned, obviously this is disappointing for the children as it has been cancelled twice. The good news is I have found an alternative and I am delighted to say on Thursday 16 September 2021 we will be bringing Camp PPS to school.

Camp PPS will be a 24 hour experience (hopefully at least 8 hours will be spent sleeping)

From 3pm on Thursday 16th September to 3pm on Friday 17 September the children will:

Put up (and take down) their tents, unpack their sleeping bags, pyjamas and teds

Fun and team building games

Make a hot chocolate with muddy water – by making a water purifier first!

The obligatory evening camp fire with toasted marshmallows, songs and interactive stories.

A variety of bushcraft activities to include:

Bugs buns and blazes

• Firelighting: using a sparking fire-steel, everyone will set cotton-wool ablaze!

• Bush-tucker challenge!

• Learning to make pancakes over the open fire (bug seasoning optional!)

Crash and carry

Your plane has crashed in the jungle!

• Gather supplies!

• Learn to help an injured teammate!

• Build a shelter!

• Survive!

They will be fed dinner, breakfast and lunch during the 24 hours and plenty of drinks and snacks, and of course the optional bugs!

We have opted to include a Night Watch so everyone – parents, staff and children can sleep soundly knowing the children are safe.

The company will be providing qualified instructors and of course PPS staff led by Mr Langford will be joining in the fun too.

The cost of this fabulous experience will be £60. So the extra good news is, if you have already paid for Colomendy then we owe you money!

If you have any questions please contact the school office. Further details and kit list to follow.
