Year 6 and 7 Residential Trips

Crawfordsburn Residential Day 2 - The children slept well last night and the great outdoors is giving them an appetite. We all enjoyed a lovely stroll to the beach this morning before beginning activities. The weather is dry which is making the activities more enjoyable today. The teachers are very proud of them all. They have a great ‘give it a go attitude’.

Year 6 Residential to Crawfordsburn

Day 1 - The weather hasn’t been kind to us today and our activities had to be amended accordingly. Nevertheless, the children have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They were treated to Rhys’ birthday cake 🎂 at supper time and are now in their rooms - almost ready for lights out! The staff are hoping for a quiet night!

Year 6 Castlewellan Residential Trip ( 1)

Year 6 pupils set out from school on Monday for their eagerly anticipated residential trip to Castlewellan Castle. After the allocation of rooms and getting settled in, the children were split into groups for a variety of activities led by the Mobile Adventure Team. They all had the opportunity to take part in archery, laser quest and canoeing. No one escaped getting a soaking out on the lake, especially the teachers!!

The weather was kind throughout the trip and after teatime we had a relaxed walk around the perimeter of the lake. On return to the Castle the pupils were able to toast marshmallows over the fire pit. The evening was finished off with a trip to the onsite shop for some much needed ice cream, sweets and drinks and then a movie in the cellars.

Castlewellan Trip: Day 2

After a good breakfast and a sound sleep ( Mmmm!?) the pupils took part in a range of team games and activities designed to encourage team building. They had to help each other plot their way through a minefield, move a golf ball along some pieces of guttering and deposit it in a bucket, use GPS to find and solve clues and take a range of different photos. These were really well organised and very enjoyable.

The trip was a great success and was really enjoyed by staff and pupils alike. The pupils were a credit to their families and school. Well done all.
