Mrs Weare writes, “I saw some great teamwork on the assault course. The children did the course twice - the second time they carried a welly full of water and were challenged not to spill any!”

“The nightline activity took place in Ford Castle’s beautiful gardens. The children wore dark glasses to block their sense of sight, and had to rely on their other senses to navigate the obstacle course,” writes Mrs Weare.
