Sunday 5th March

Wow! What a day it has been! We’ve experienced all kinds of weather which has made the skiing challenging at times. However, everyone has impressed me with how quickly they have progressed and the resilience which they have shown. There have been many compliments from the instructors and secondary teachers as to how polite and wonderful Coppice have been which has been lovely.

We’ve had full sunshine all morning, then heavy snow all afternoon so real extremes. Everyone stayed on the Jourette and we enjoyed coming back to the resort for pasta and a short rest at lunch. Tomorrow our top two groups will be heading to France and everyone else will be getting lift passes to use the button lift to reach higher points up the Jourette. Another exciting challenge!

The instructors, as always, are so patient and wonderful in the way they communicate with the groups. Everyone is going to do so well this week and learn so much.

  8. OK, now I'm worried, our children being polite, nice and restpectful!! Perhaps 22 hours staring out of the coach window st the French countryside flying past has put them into some sort of trance? Either that or you've got the wrong group!! Great photos, thanks for the update, love to Oliver, hugs and kisses from Mom.

  9. Good morning from all of year 5! We are really glad that you all arrived safely and survived the mammoth journey. The photos look great and we are all jealous of the wonderful snow! It seems strange without half the year group here, but we are looking forward to a handball tournament this afternoon. Finally, we would all like to wish Joey a Happy Birthday!
    P.S Mr Cox has shaved his beard off!
