And that, was our last outdoor ed’ session of the school year! A strong breeze and sunny spells made great conditions for Year 6 to round things off with. A great ‘follow my leader’ drill, followed by capsize practice (and a final jetty jump, of course). ⛵️ 💨 #outdoored

Year 6 completed their CPR training this week 💪 A big thank you to our local Fire Service team 🚒 #hunterhallschool #penrith #cumbria #CPR #Fireservice #year6

The U9 Wilson Cup 🎾has progressed to the final stages. Well done to Charlie, Sebastian, Lucy and Hermione for making it through to the boys’ and girls’ finals. 🏆 Nice to see our U11 champ supporting his younger friends.

Thankyou to our wonderful peripatetic instrumental teacher Mrs Gilbertson, and her talented pupils, Zoe and Honour, for a fabulous musical theatre singing workshop this afternoon. The children loved it!

Year 6 enjoyed using Bunsen burners and microscopes at Ullswater Community College's Science Day.

Congratulations to 🐿️Squirrels who first navigated their semi final against 🐇 Hares (a last ball thriller) and then hit 68 v 49 in the final against 🦡 badgers. A tremendous team performance💥🏏🏆 House cricket champions - Squirrels 👏🏻

House cricket yesterday saw a sublime partnership from Ellie and Thomas. Foxes hit a 4 off the last ball to claim victory in the 3rd/4th place play off game. Well done to the mighty foxes 🦊🏏. #evenmoreexcitingthantheashes💥

Time for a cool off! For many in Year 6, the Outdoor Ed’ highlight of the year is our ghyll scramble experience in the river Caldew. Today did not disappoint - rock jumps, slides and scrambles. Great fun! #outdooreducation #ghyllscrambling #teamwork #challenge #adventure

Congratulations to this year’s Victor and Victrix Ludorum winners. An amazing achievement over 8 events in hot conditions. ☀️🏆 U9’s- Henry & Lucy U11’s- Sam and Anna & Iona #whatasportsday

Stunning conditions for Year 5W’s final afternoon of sailing this week. ⛵️ ☀️ #outdooreducation #teamwork #ullswatersailingschool #sailing

Huge congratulations to badgers 🦡 who claimed glory at this year’s Hunter Hall sports day. The drought is over - well for sports day success anyway. 2013 was their last win! Well done Iona and Anna on your joint U11 Victrix Ludorum win 💥💥

Thanks to @mowden_hall for hosting a fabulous afternoon of cricket. The U11 Super Sixes proved a big hit with our cricketers. Lots to celebrate and plenty of new learning 👌

Yesterday our boy and girl U11 Wilson cup winners played off for the big one 🏆. Both played their part with some sensational rallies, eventually Ollie claimed the 2023 title. #wellplayedbothofyou 🎾

Thanks to Barnard Castle for hosting our U11 boys yesterday. A great cricket game and lovely to catch up with past Hunter Hall pupil - Hugo. Top caught and bowled George and fine boundaries for Ollie, Hamish and Hubi 🏏💪🏻
