A great effort from our Year 6 football team

On our last full day, we were all ready to take part in our paddling activity but unfortunately the cold weather meant we were unable to go on the water! Because of this, we set off on an exciting tunnel adventure, using our torches to guide the way through the darkness. Afterwards, we headed down into the forest for bush craft, where we learnt how to build fires safely and worked in teams to create dens from natural materials. Later, we split into groups to tackle high rope challenges and enjoy mountain biking along the forest trails. Even in the cold, everyone faced their fears, supported one another, and showed incredible resilience throughout a brilliant final day.

We woke up early and set off for an action-packed day on our Year 6 residential. First, we tackled mountain biking through the woods, speeding along muddy tracks and feeling the wind rush past us. Then came tree climbing, abseiling, and the high ropes course, where we pushed ourselves to be brave and resilient, cheering each other on from the ground and high above it. Now, after an amazing day of adventure, we’re tired but still full of energy, playing hide and seek in the dark and making memories we’ll never forget.

Our Year 6 children have had a fantastic first day on residential! After settling into their rooms and making their beds, they enjoyed a grand tour of the centre before taking part in a range of team-building activities. This evening, the excitement continued with a night walk through the woods, torches in hand and plenty of laughter along the way. Everyone is happy, settled, and already making great memories. We can’t wait for more adventures tomorrow!
