Year 4 had an absolutely fantastic time at Danbury, one of our regular residential trip destinations. We arrived to a sunny welcome from our group leader, who showed us to our cabins. The children were thrilled to settle into their cabins and spend time in vast, open green areas right on their doorsteps.
Our day one activities were low ropes and archery. There was lots of laughter while trying to balance on the ropes and the children demonstrated excellent team skills while helping their team mates through obstacles or to overcome challenges. During archery, pupils learnt about the techniques that contribute towards a successful aiming process and a successful shot – we even had a couple of bull’s eyes!
The next day was an exciting one with caving and obstacle course activities! Pupils put on their helmets and torches and entered the darkness of the Danbury caves (with the assistance of expert instructors guiding pupils through the tunnels). They were then allowed to play a round of hide and seek in the pitch-black tunnels.
We were extremely proud of our pupils with their determination and participation during their residential visit to Danbury. We are looking forward to next year’s already!
