Avon Tyrrell

 Monday 2nd November

We have arrived at Avon Tyrrell, settled into our rooms and enjoyed our first lunch. Groups have now headed out to complete their first activities. Over the week, each group will complete every activity. 

 

This afternoon, groups enjoyed rock climbing, archery, egg drop, low ropes and the challenge course. 

After dinner, some groups have wrapped up warm for outdoor night orienteering. Other groups are staying in for the evening and enjoying relaxing with friends. They will complete night orienteering on Wednesday.

 Tuesday 3rd November

Good morning from a sunny Avon Tyrrell! Children slept remarkably well for the first night, with rooms quiet from 10.30pm to 6.30am. Everyone has enjoyed a hearty cooked breakfast and are now heading out for their first activities of the day. Some groups are canoeing and climbing, whilst others are abseiling and taking on the tree top trail.  

 

This afternoon, groups have completed a range of activities. This has included archery, pedalos and an adventure trail. Some groups have had a free session which featured a highly anticipated trip to the shop! 

 

Tonight, everyone is wrapping up warm and heading out for an evening around the campfire where we will be singing, playing games and toasting marshmallows.

Wednesday 4th November

After another good night's sleep and  a cooked breakfast, everyone is ready for a fun filled day of activities. This morning, some groups are completing low ropes or high ropes and others are canoeing or pioneering. 

A busy afternoon full of activities, with some groups abseiling or climbing and others completing a challenge course or the tree top trail. 

This evening after dinner, some groups will be heading out for night orienteering. The groups who did this on Monday will be having a relaxing evening in the house. Some children have asked to go to bed early so we will see how that goes…. 

 

After 2 full days, everyone is starting to get into their stride, finding their way around and demonstrating what is expected of them.

Thursday 5th November

Somehow we have made it to our last full day. There were lots of sleepy faces this morning but pancakes for breakfast helped to wake everyone up. Groups are out for their morning activities with a mixture of low ropes, canoeing, climbing and abseiling. 

This afternoon, groups have enjoyed high ropes, canoeing and bushcraft. Some groups have enjoyed free time, which has involved visits to the shops, games of pool and relaxing with friends. 

 

Tonight, to celebrate our final evening, we are having a disco. There is sure to be lots of singing and dancing.

Friday 6th November 

So we have made it to our final day. We have one more morning of activities before heading back to school this afternoon.

 

What an amazing week it has been! The adults could not be prouder of each and every child. Our school ANCHOR values have shone through everything we have done this week. Challenge in particular has radiated through the week - children have pushed themselves out of their comfort zones, demonstrated resilience and embraced challenges head on. Well done Year 6! It has certainly been a week of fun, adventure and making memories! 

 

We have a bag of unclaimed items so if you are missing anything, please speak with your child's class teacher on Monday. Likewise, if children have accidentally taken something home that does not belong to them, please return it to school on Monday.
