Fun and games at Allerton Grange
Allerton Grange was our destination on Monday morning for a PE lesson. After getting changed at school, we walked down to Allerton Grange where we were met by Miss Woodhead. She introduced us to our sports leaders (students from Y10) who told us what we were going to do. We spent an hour playing all sorts of different games and learning new skills. We were certainly ready for our lunch when we got back to school.
Using maps
Also, we used giant maps to find different places.
