Y6 Edale Residential

Well Year 6, what an adventure you have been on! We arrived at Edale Activity Centre on Wednesday afternoon to begin our first ice breaking activity and played some great games.

After we had settled into our dormitories, we then went off for tea. We certainly needed our strength as our night-time activity was to orienteer around the site in the dark with our teams and our torches. Great fun.

Our first night was a night of little sleep... but we all still managed to be up and ready for a 7.30am breakfast.

Over the two fantastic days, our groups have enjoyed canoeing, weaselling and abseiling. All three activities were off the Edale site and amongst stunning countryside. We even visited a farm and enjoyed farm-made scoops of ice cream. We used minibuses to get from one place to another and enjoyed arriving at different locations. We canoed on a reservoir, weaselled amongst boulders and rocks and abseiled down a viaduct. All children have certainly been challenged and have definitely risen to the occasion. They are very proud of themselves and so am I. Well done Year 6.

We also spent time as a class eating all our meals together, doing a night treasure hunt and then finished our evenings in the games room playing table tennis, snooker, giant connect four, table football and cards.

All had a good night sleep on our second night, thank goodness, and this gave us the energy this morning to pack up and strip our beds. We completed our activity this morning in a windy Edale before enjoying our lunch and walking down to meet our coach.

A big thank you to Miss Tripp and Mrs Whittingham who have left their own families to support Year 6 throughout this amazing trip. I couldn't have done this without you both. Thank you.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and get lots of rest ready for your final week before half term. I cannot believe Year 6 that you are coming into your last term at Wybunbury Delves. Just one more week to go and what a great way to end your term.

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you all try different activities, and I am very blessed to be your class teacher.

I will continue to upload photos for you to enjoy. This takes a little while as I need to work with all 3 iPads to upload from all three adults. Here are some to get you started.

Have a great weekend.
Mrs. B.
