Over 100 Year 7 pupils from Dallam School spent a day (Friday 27 September) gaining skills and cementing friendships to support their transition to secondary school.
For the 11-12-year-olds it was their fourth week of their first term at the Milnthorpe based school.
The students travel from 35 feeder schools across the South Lakes and Morecambe Bay area.

Dallam School’s head of Year 7 Paul Ainsworth said: “We work really hard to support our Year 7s and this team building day gives them dedicated time and space to develop friendships and to get to know their form tutor.
“Making the step up from primary to secondary school can be a massive adjustment for students. We want them to feel a part of the school community, right from the start.
"They also need to get used to a more diverse curriculum, different teaching styles, an increased responsibility to manage their time and to work more independently.
"Plus, it’s a critical period for finding friends, developing resilience, responsibility, confidence and their personalities."
All pupils took part in four team building events and received a certificate for their participation.
The deadline for applications for children moving to secondary school next September (2025) is Thursday 31 October.
