Southend Week Gallery

Whilst most of Year 6 were busy exploring the breathtaking landscape of Derbyshire another group spent their week travelling the lengths and breadth of Southend, with a visit to London's Natural History Museum and Hyde Park to kick off the week.

Despite the high temperatures, the group enjoyed participating in a wide variety of activities throughout the week including golf, bowling, horse riding, bush craft and crabbing in Old Leigh. Preparing and baking their own lunch on Tuesday was another highlight. Homemade pizza, cheese straws and choc-chip cookies provided a hearty lunch in the woods before spending an afternoon playing team games, constructing bracelets and chasing butterflies!

By the end of the week, everyone (including staff) felt a little weary after an action-packed itinerary but we're sure that many happy memories were made in the final weeks of their time at West Leigh. The children behaved impeccably throughout the week and were a true credit to West Leigh.
