Happy New Year! 🎊
We kicked off our new term last night with Junkyard Golf ⛳.
Using recyclable materials from home, Explorers created crazy golf courses! They then played the course in teams.
Last week, in preparation for uni life / independent living, Explorers prepared a 'meal for a fiver'.
Given a recipe card, teams had to go to the local supermarket armed with £5 to buy ingredients to cook a dish using a variety of means.
#SkillsForLife
Sandbach was full this morning, as we paraded towards the war memorial in town and laid a wreath to commemorate the fallen.
Important that we joined forces with 39th Sandbach Beavers, Cubs and Scouts too.
