Form 5 - Fellowship Afloat 2025
DAY 1
Day 1 on our journey to Fellowship Afloat began with us venturing onto the boat and finding our rooms to settle in. Once we were unpacked we then had a great, informative guided tour. We had no idea of the history of the boat. It was so interesting.
By this point we were starving and the chefs had cooked up a delicious pesto pasta and cake for dessert!
Afterwards, we started our duties of cleaning and tidying up and were ready for our next activity, kayaking.
The wind certainly made it tricky to navigate on the lagoon and we did have a few pile ups by the bank where the current had pushed us. However, through determination we powered through and really gained great skills and had a fabulous time on the lake.
Afterwards we returned back to the boat to warm up and have a delicious dinner.
Once we had finished and cleaned the plates and scrubbed the deck- we were set a challenge boys vs girls, to pick out the pieces of apple from syrup the quickest! It was close, but the boys won!
We then set off on our night walk where Mrs Dickinson had bought us glow sticks to wear, sadly it wasn't dark enough to see the full effects! We had a lovely walk on the sea wall watching the sunset and playing games.
Finally we returned back to the boat and had a comforting hot chocolate. We ended the evening by playing board&card games and settled in for the night.
Day 2
Day 2 of Fellowship Afloat, was a beautiful, stunning sunny day. We started the day with a wholesome breakfast and first “Trinity challenge. Girls vs boys where they had to balance a cup of water on their head and race to the end without spilling. After a great giggle we were all eager to take on our first activity, archery.
We loved being able to have so many turns and in our final few targets we had to aim at the balloons which Mrs Dickinson managed to hit 4 balloons! We all really built up our skills and become much more confident with our aim-Mrs White also showed off her skills by hitting the bullseye multiple times! (She will be competing in the olympics in no time)
Our delicious lunch was to make our own sandwiches with the widest range of fillings to choose from followed by a delicious after eight flapjack.
Once our bellies were full we set off on the Powerboats. The water was choppy from the high winds but only added to the fun bumping up and down on the water. We had a pitstop on the water and were given hot chocolate plus a biscuit. We sang fun songs whilst bobbing on the water before heading back.
Finally we headed back for a comforting roast dinner and crumble. The next Trinity challenge was to drop an Egg from a standing height and land it in a cup - we all loved watching this! The staff then made a quiz which got very heated through everyone’s competitive nature but our teachers won.
We finished off the evening playing games and settling for the night. We really had so much fun today and so grateful to the staff at Fellowship Afloat for creating memories to last for a lifetime.

TUESDAY 23rd APRil
The children are thoroughly enjoying their time at PGL. So far, they have completed a sensory trail and climbing. There has been a lot of laughter and stumbling about on the sensory trail. The climbing has been very competitive. Everyone has shown great determination to reach the top of the wall, well done Form 6.
Later today, the children are going to be raft building and complete a challenge course.

Wednesday 24th April
The children are having a lovely time.
Today, they have hoisted each other up the giant swing and then taken the leap of faith on the trapeze. Closer to the ground the children have been doing some problem solving, archery and eating huge amounts of food. They will then be playing a game of rounders before the mystery balloon challenge.
THursday 25th April
The children have enjoyed their final full day at PGL. We have been rifle shooting followed by the fantastic zip wire.
After lunch, we went on a survival experience with fire lighting and shelter building. This was followed by canoeing on the lake.
We have had a lovely dinner and are now off for a disco!
Form 5 Fellowship Afloat 2024
Day 1
The children have settled beautifully into life aboard the Trinity Light Ship. After a welcome meeting and the excitement of finding out who they were sharing a cabin with, the children had a go at crabbing, with some large crabs being caught! The children have done very well at keeping their cabins clean and tidy and all scored highly in the first cabin inspection!
After a hearty lunch, we took to the water in power boats. All the children had a turn at steering and proved excellent at negotiating their way around buoys and other boats. We cruised all the way to Mersea Island before turning back.
After a delicious dinner and some games, we pulled on our waterproofs again for a night walk which the children enjoyed.
A warm shower and story followed before the children settled to bed, with most of them falling asleep quickly after all the fresh air and activities!
The children are being very helpful with chores such as washing up and cleaning the saloon after meals and are all eagerly awaiting the next cabin inspection to see if they can improve on their previous score!
Today we are looking forward to sailing and kayaking if the weather allows.
Day 2
The children were up bright and early ready for a day full of exciting activities.
After a cooked breakfast and chores we walked to a large saltwater pool where the children enjoyed a morning of kayaking. They all picked up how to control their kayak very quickly, learning how to turn, stop and paddle backwards.
They enjoyed lots of games using their newly learnt skills and everyone managed to stay in their kayak and not fall in the water!
All the children helped put the kayaks and paddles away and then we walked back to the ship for a hot lunch with plenty of fruit and cake for dessert.
It was a little too windy for sailing, so the children enjoyed lots of team building activities during the afternoon, both on and off the ship. They discussed what makes a great team and worked well together to complete the tasks.
Tonight the children will be visiting the onboard shop and taking part in a quiz night. May the best team win!!
DAY 3
After a good night’s sleep the children awoke refreshed and keen to start their last activity.
Everyone made sure their cabins were clean and tidy after another cabin inspection last night resulting in some good and some not quite so good scores!
After a hearty breakfast, and a special hot chocolate for the birthday boy, the children embarked on their high ropes challenge. They all did brilliantly and the wind didn’t put them off!
It was then back to the ship for a last meal and time to pack their bags (sorry for the wet and muddy clothes parents!)
The children have had a great time and have hopefully all learnt some new skills and that they can achieve anything they put their mind to. They should all be so proud of themselves.
Form 4 - Danbury Outdoors 2023
Day One
Day one at Danbury Outdoors has been a resounding success. We have zipped down the zip wire and whizzed around the aerial trekking, such bravery and enthusiasm from everyone. A few sunny showers, but nothing will stop us. They all want to go higher and faster tomorrow.
Day two
Form 4 had an amazing time at Danbury Outdoors. We did the zip wire, aerial trekking, vertical challenge and an obstacle course. The mixed weather did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm, yes, we got a little muddy, but what a wonderful experience it was. Some climbed higher than they ever thought they would, supported their peers to achieve beyond their expectations and created memories that will be revisited often.
