Uber Reward Trip - Follow the Adventure as it Happens
Day Four - Thursday 2 July
We ended our Uber adventure with an afternoon of 10 pin bowling at Hollywood Bowl......looking to bowl a strike or two!
The highest points scorer was 107 by Charlie - Congratulations!
Unfortunately the Uber Trip has come to its end; everyone has had an amazing four days away.
Students have throughly deserved this reward......keep those positive points coming in next Academic year and who knows, you may be rewarded with another fantastic Uber Trip!
Students have been outstanding throughout the entire trip, an absolute credit to the Academy

Day Three - Wednesday 1 July
We spent the day at the splashtastic Alton Towers Waterpark. The Waterpark boasted hundreds of fantastic interactive water features, from lazy rivers and crazy cannons to the sensational speed of the Master Blaster water rollercoaster along with the Caribbean lagoon which offered gallons of water for all!!!
Everyone got drenched and had a fantastic time chasing one another down the flumes!
In the evening we took a stroll through Cotton Dell nature reserve with its steep sided woodland valleys and flower rich grasslands hunting down the Midlands Panther; the only sighting of anything of interest was a frog captured by Jem!
Again behaviour has been impeccable with no issues or concerns whatsoever.
Sadly tomorrow we'll be travelling back home, stopping en-route for 10 pin bowling. We'll be back at the Academy for 3pm.

Day One - Monday 29 June
After a very early start to the day we arrived at Brampton Park (thankfully dodging the London rush hour traffic) where students enjoyed lunch in the blistering sunshine within the stunning gardens of the Brampton Manor.
Our Uber Trip takes place next week - a 4-day, 3-night, thrill-seeking, high-adrenaline residential trip to Alton Towers resort, at no cost.
The trip is for the 15 students (pictured) with the most Harris points because they show an exemplary attitude to learning, attendance/punctuality, Harris manners, and continuously strive to exceed their personal best.
Announcing the names of the students, Principal Mr Everitt said: 'This trip is a reward for students who have been truly inspirational throughout the entire academic year and as such are seen as role models and ambassadors for Harris Boys’ Academy East Dulwich. A massive congratulations to these boys.”
Esteban was also included on the trip for producing the best homework this year.
