On Thursday 17th and Friday 18th October, our Year 5 children headed off to Gilwell Scout Camp for a couple of days of outdoor learning. They really enjoyed sharing rooms with their friends and taking part in exciting activities such as crate stacking, bouldering, archery, low-ropes and wobbly pole.

The children spent time playing outdoor games and exploring the woods, identifying trees and looking for hidden secrets. One of the highlights for many was the amazing sight of two stags just outside their windows when they woke up Friday morning – it was worth the early hour!

Some children were a little nervous about taking part, but everyone challenged themselves to overcome their fears, showing our values of resilience and courage as well as fantastic teamwork and responsibility. We were really lucky with the weather and the children had a fantastic time, enjoying taking part in activities they may not have tried before.
