Year 7 had a blast last week at the beautiful setting of Plas Y Brenin in Wales. They enjoyed lots of different activities, including orienteering, kayaking and mountain walking, which reached its climax with Mr Palmer getting his foot caught in a crag and demanding oxygen at the summit! The fun didn’t stop there and over the next few days, they abseiled from a 10m tower, took part in team building and problem solving on the low ropes course and enjoyed the infamous gorge scrambling. Decked out in full waterproofs and ready for action, they tackled the elements as they moved through the waters, climbed rocks and slid into the plunge pool. Evenings were spent relaxing and playing card games in the common room to unwind before bed.
Thank you to the following staff members for creating such an incredible and memorable experience for the children: Miss Sweeney, Miss Charlotte (who joined us on a day’s notice), and Mr. Jones. They have been amazing at fostering a supportive environment for your children to push themselves and take on new challenges. A huge thank you must also go to Mr Palmer, for organising such a successful and action-packed trip. The children were very lucky to have them there!
Finally, a thank you to the Year 7 pupils for making this a pleasurable experience, pushing themselves to achieve things they thought they couldn’t, and growing as individuals.
