The first sleepover in Reid Street’s 107 year history took place on Friday 5th July. Children from key stage 2 attended and the whole event was extremely successful. The Pie challenge children learned about the hospitality business and created their own Reid Street BnB raising £960!
Children began arriving at 5:30 pm with a vast array of sleeping equipment. Everyone was excited but some were a little nervous too.
At 6 pm, we all headed to Magic and Mayhem where the children thoroughly enjoyed some free time charging around the indoor play area.
After returning to school at 8:30 pm, supper (toast, cookies and milk) were served. Everybody was in a great mood and incredibly excited. The teachers were wondering if anyone would sleep. After taking a vote for which movie we would watch, we went back to the hall where we sat with friends and watched The Emoji Movie. Some children fell asleep straight away!
The behaviour of the children was impeccable throughout the night and 90% of the children were fast asleep by 11:00 pm when the movie finished.
The children began to wake around 6:00 am. Then staff arrived to make breakfast so after some early morning team games on the yard we all enjoyed either a bacon or sausage sandwich.
The Pie challenge design team had created some review sheets and we were thrilled with our 4.5 out 5 star rating. Here are some of the comments:
Very nice place for a first time. The price of £12 is good because it included the soft play, a breakfast, supper and a movie. Damon
I thoroughly enjoyed it. The PIE Challenge have been planning it for ages and I think they pulled it off. I would definitely do it again. Olivia
