« Year 6 World Cup Sports Activities. | Main | The week in Reception! »
This week Class Six went on their residential trip to Gibside! We left school on Wednesday morning and headed to Whickham Thorns for an adventure packed day including high ropes, snow tubing, archery and an assault course.
Everyone was really brave for having a go on the high ropes course - it took lots of determination to get right to the top.
Snow tubing was great fun! We experimented with different ways of coming down the slope, including 'fast and furious', 'big spinning circle' and 'backwards in pairs'.
Archery was great fun - we had a competition to see who had the best aim - watch out Robin Hood!
The rain didn't put us off too much, but there were some very muddy shoes after the assault course!
After Whickham Thorns we traveled up to Gibside. We unpacked and settled into our dormitories. Some of use were already quite tired and had a little rest before tea!
We enjoyed a delicious Shepherd's Pie and fruit and ice cream before heading out on a Nature Walk around the beautiful Gibside estate.
We returned to The Stables for hot chocolate and then headed to best after an exhausting day. Some of us even got some sleep!
