GETTING soaked . . . Ged Greaves
THE terrible summer weather was no problem for holiday adventurers from St Joseph’s Primary School in Shaw.
A group of Year six pupils got even wetter, ghyll scrambling and kayaking at an outdoor activity centre in the Lake District.
The children also tried climbing, abseiling and orienteering near Coniston Water.
Deputy head Steve Hill said: “It was a fantastic experience for all the children.”
Back in Shaw, pupils were still on an adventure high: “It was the best weekend of my life,” said Ellie Mellor — while Caitlin Knowles added: “Simply awesome! I want to go again.”
