Mental and Physical challenge, Teamwork, Brain Training, Co-ordination, Leadership, Respect, Problem Solving. All were elements of a fantastic day of different activities and experiences for all of our students in years 8 – 11. Each form experienced six different tasks throughout the day and were marked according to different criteria. The response to all of the activities was brilliant. All of the students had a fun day and learned a lot about themselves and others in a creative environment. Well done! What a day!!
During the first week back after half term Year 7 students went on the school’s annual visit to Towers Outdoor Education Centre in Wales. This is part of a team building exercise with Year 7 where they experience activities that rely on verbal communication skills and trust. Students can be seen undertaking the ‘Blind Trail’ wearing blackout visors and following the lead of the person in front to help guide them around the trail and back to safety. Other activities included tree climbing, rope and chain swings, zip wiring, abseiling and rock climbing. Follwing an exciting afternoon canoeing and kayaking students were allowed to have fun getting wet in the lake along with the Head of Year 7 Miss Sullivan.
