Year 7 Had A Fabulous Time At Whitemoor Lakes

08 Oct

Year 7 were lucky with the weather when they enjoyed a wonderful three-day programme at Whitemoor Lakes Outdoor Residential Centre.

Pupils took part in an itinerary that included fencing, climbing, high ropes, zip wire, gladiator, canoeing, buggy building and problem-solving. In groups, they rotated around the different activities, working together to complete the challenges they were set. In the evenings, they enjoyed team games and a fabulous Saturday night disco. On Sunday morning, Father Alan Whelan MSC joined the group and led a service reflecting on the importance of kindness and doing your best. It was a fabulous weekend with plenty of old-fashioned fun.

There were lots of opportunities for pupils to develop their team working skills and the activities all encouraged pupils to show initiative, resilience and social awareness. Over the weekend, Year 7 took on all the challenges with determination and enthusiasm, making for a memorable three days.

Deputy Head (Pastoral), Beth Sharpe said, “This was a fantastic opportunity for our Year 7 pupils to bond together 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 big thank you to all the staff who supported the trip.
