Year 7 Had A Wonderful Time At Whitemoor Lakes
07 Oct
Last weekend, Year 7 enjoyed an exciting three-day programme at Whitemoor Lakes. They took part in an itinerary that included fencing, canoeing, zip wire, abseiling and the high ropes.
In small groups, they rotated around the different activities working together to complete the challenges they were set. In the evenings, they enjoyed team games, a camp fire and dancing at a fabulous Saturday night disco. With no mobiles, Year 7 were off the grid and had time for plenty of old-fashioned fun.
There were plenty of opportunities for pupils to develop their team working skills and the activities all helped to encourage initiative and develop resilience and social awareness. Over the weekend, Year 7 all grew in confidence having approached new challenges with determination and enthusiasm and they all enjoyed a memorable three days.
Head of More House, Jess Newborough, said, “This was a fantastic opportunity for our Year 7 pupils to bond as a year group. They had an amazing time and were really supportive of one another. I know they have come back into school with new friends and better able to work together as a team.”
Well done to everyone and a huge thank you to all the staff who supported the trip.
