Ski 2024 – Day 5

Mrs Wycherley writes:

Our final day of skiing is over! Skis, poles and boots have been returned, cases have been packed and we have had our final evening meal. This evening students had another opportunity to visit the local supermarket where they stocked up on snacks for the long journey home. If any of you were hoping for change from the Euros you sent your child with, I wouldn’t expect much. Fingers crossed they managed to at least buy you a gift!

We managed to take some fabulous photos on the slopes today which I hope you enjoy looking at. Yet again it was a stunning day with lots of sun. All 5 of our ski groups were able to get to the main mountain and completed a variety of ski runs down. This in itself is a huge achievement because we have more beginners on this trip than we have had in previous years.

This evening we have been ice skating which was a great way to end the trip.

It has been a wonderful trip and one that I am sure the students will remember for many years to come. I am certain that as well as learning to ski it has benefited them all in a whole range of other ways that you will see on their return. Personally, I have thoroughly enjoyed bringing them away as they have been so keen, enthusiastic, helpful and well behaved (most of the time!).

We look forward to seeing you all back at school tomorrow but be prepared for some very tired young people!!!

Today’s awards go to:

Kamikaze – Pierce for causing a pile up and getting lost in woods

Poser -Dan for trying to race staff and losing

Donut of the day- Lewis (I will let him explain why)
