It's home time for our group from Weston Park Primary who have spent 3 days at the wonderful Peter Ashley Activity Centres.

Over the last few days, the children have taken part in adventurous activities such as rock climbing, laser tag, team-building and nature walks.

A big thank you to our friends at Wheelers Travel for transporting them safely and the amazing team at PAAC for looking after them.

Did you know the activity centre is housed inside a 19th-century Victorian fort on Portsdown Hill overlooking Portsmouth.
