Year 7 & 8 Residential Trip

24/01/2023

Hi All,
After a great nights sleep in our cozy tents everyone was awoken by the rural sounds of cockerels, goats and the aroma of breakfast.
Our chefs cooked us an amazing selection of breakfast bites which nourished us ready for the day ahead.
The groups once again where broken into their groups of six and cycled round to their next challenge.
We had students flying high, firing arrows, learning to work as a team, learning how to survive in the wild with an Ex-Moroccan Special forces instructor and Hiking Dibba Peak.
At 12:30 everyone came back for lunch for build your own chicken burgers and pasta.
After lunch the teams cycled round and where straight out.
Once the days activities where done students chilled out at home base and enjoyed some free time.
After a lovely spaghetti Bolognese and vegetarian curry we had an evening round the camp fire learning how to navigate by the stars and singing some camp chants with some freshly warmed marshmallows.

Good Morning All,
Day 1 saw our big first steps away from school and Home and it has to be said, all the students handled it incredibly well.
We had a good singsong on the bus and the students where extremely helpful and organized when it came to crossing the border.
Getting to camp the students quickly got to grips with their bunks and bunk mates and dove into some great food.

After lunch we split into groups and started our activities!!
Some of the teachers got involved as well,
Mrs Georgia found a new talent for Archery, where as Mrs Mary remains Queen of the Crag!

After activities we had some soup, chicken skewers and pasta followed by the Camp favorite Ice cream.

After dinner the groups had a series of 10 Challenges. Competing against each other to be crowd the Camp champs.
Mr Jack unfortunately lost several challenges and had to sit in the chair and receive 1 water balloon from each group.
