Here's a selection of pictures from our Year 6 Residential trip to Howtown. As you can see we're having lots of fun!

THURSDAY'S ADVENTURES

Team Bonington

 

 

Team Bonington had a brilliant last day! Mostly because they were joined by a suprise visitor - Miss Pilling! They started their adventures with a row across the lake followed by a hike in the woods with a hot-chocolate stop along the way. Then we joined Team Fiennes around the firepit for toasted marshmellows and chats about our favourite moments at Howtown!

Team Fiennes

 

 

Team Fiennes worked brilliantly as a team to scramble up a mountain. They learnt how to hold and control the ropes when rock climbing. In the evening, they reflected on their achievements of the week. They finished their day with toasted marshmellows over a campfire. 

Team Hill

 

 

Team Hill started the day with some more Night Line, leading their partner around a course blindfolded. We then rowed across Ullswater lake to the other side, where we explored some underground tunnnels. Afterthat, we ate our lunch on a beach, splashed around a bit, and then rowed back where we finished off by jumping off the boat into the lake for a swim! We then sat around a fire with Team Muir and toasted marhsmellows, while reflecting back on our proudest moment so far. 

Team Muir

 

 

Team Muir had a special guest join their group today - Miss Livesey! The team channelled their inner explorer side today with a gorge walk up some small waterfalls, as well as facing their fears with a jump off a low cliff that lead straight into the water. They then finished off their final day with a campfire, roasting tasty marshmellows! 

WEDNESDAY'S ADVENTURES...

Team Bonington had a fantastic day in the sun! They worked as a team to walk up some gorges and they had well-earned dips in the waterfalls along the way. After dinner, they donned the blindfolds to work their way around the nighline course. Team work and trust were definitely needed for this activity!

Team Fiennes

 

 

Team Fiennes caught the steamferry from Howtown over to Glenridding. They then made their way back to the centre. They took in the sights and even had the chance to dip their feet in the water. After dinner, they played some team games, and voted to go for a jog and dip again. 

Team Hill

 

 

Team Hill spent the morning walking up to the top of a hill, taking in the picturesque views from the top! They then walked down the other side and canoed back along Ullswater Lake, working as a team to make it back to the centre. After dinner, they put on blindfolds and guided each other around the night line. 

Team Muir

 

 

Team Muir started their morning with a prep for the day, then ventured out onto the lake in canoes, splitting into two groups.
