We look back on a fantastic series of events which saw over 2000 people visit the moon installation. Those fortunate enough to be at the launch night heard from Luke Jerram himself and enjoyed good food and a wonderful evening that culminated in an outdoor gathering to enjoy the soulful blues of Kiris Riviere and the Dambusters. The Friday night brought us the Arts Soiree where we were entertained by the Handfuls of Harmony core choir. [ 158 more words ] https://www.ashtonpark.net/moon-mission-a -success/

Some of the students travelled to Wales for an overnight trip recently. The trip started with a visit to the Big Pit which was very interesting and some overcame their fears of going into the dark mines underground for a tour. We then went to explore some more interesting places such as a disused railway tunnel again helping to overcome a fear of the dark.

The Watersports 2018 trip has been busy since arriving in the resort - Azu Rivage. The journey was ok really and seeing the sunset as we docked in Calais was a nice touch. After the 20 hours of travelling, as the coach approached our home for the week, we were welcomed with a tunnel of waving Rockley staff and after a quick breakfast and welcome, we were on the water for kayaking.
