• Clitheroe Foodbank

  Tue 10 Nov 2015
  During the half term holidays some children from Year 5 and Year 6 went to Clitheroe Food Bank to deliver all the tins the school had collected during Harvest.  The friendly volunteers gave the children a tour and explained the work they do. Afterwards, the children had a drink and biscuit in the drop-in cafe.  All the children were surprised at how many local people visit the Food Bank, so much so, that the children have decided to keep a box in the foyer of school for parents and relatives to put in any food or toiletry donations. The box will be delivered at the end of each term to the Food Bank.

  

• Hothersall Lodge Residential

  Fri 06 Nov 2015

  A fantastic and exhilarating time was had by all of Year 5 and Year 6 Residential Trip to Hothersall Lodge.  The children learn’t many new skills and brought back many memories!

   

  Hothersall Lodge is a good environment for developing life skills and if you want to know them read on.

   

  Friendship

   

  When you are down in life, friendship is very important. Having friendships gives you many things like: care, joy, love, passion and last but not least, hope. At Hothersall Lodge you are encouraged to make new friends but not as in a forcing way, they sit you on different table,s with different people that you do not know.  Perhaps they could be from a different school.

   

  Teamwork

   

  Hothersall Lodge does a lot of teamwork as it is a big part of skills needed for life. Sometimes you can get quite mad and shout at people; when you are in a team Hothersall Lodge does not encourage that but if you do get to the point of blowing with anger tell a supervisor and then they won’t tell you off but they will help to sort it out.  You can learn from your mistakes better when you haven’t been shouted at but just worked the problem out nicely.  Then you can improve on teamwork much better than the last time.

   

  Positive Thinking

   

  Positive thinking is something that you will definitely need throughout your life. At Hothersal Lodge you will need it to get over your fears. Flying through the air on the big zip wire, is an example of when you will really need a lot of positive thinking because it is quite high up off the ground and it is very long. However, you do not have to do it if you do not want to.

   

  Trust

   

  As you progress with your time at Hothersall Lodge, you will start to have more an more trust in quite a few things like : the instructors and the equipment. It is very important to trust. There are a lot of trust exercises including been blindfolded and being taken across a big drop with people either side of you.  You need to also trust the people that are guiding you. Trust me, Hothersal Lodge is definitely the best place in the galaxy for anyone developing any life skills that life can throw at you.
