Day one

The children have all arrived safely at Bawdsey Manor and they have settled into the their rooms. They are looking forward to dinner followed by a PGL tournament this evening.

Day two

The children have had a brilliant day so far. This morning, after a yummy breakfast, they have completed trapeze and problem solving. After a delicious lunch, the children have then been zip lining and abseiling. What a fun filled day! This evening, after dinner, they will be enjoying a camp fire. They are also enjoying their ‘cabin time’ where they get to spend quality time with their friends sharing all the goodies they have bought at the shop!

day three

After some sleepy looking faces this morning, the children perked up after a huge cooked breakfast!

This morning the children have pushed themselves to their limits on the giant swing. A challenge that requires team work and bravery in order to overcome fears.

The children have also made and ridden on buggies that they have made using poles, barrels and lots of rope. The building theme continued after lunch where we built rafts. After a quick lesson on paddling and steering the children sailed their rafts up and down the river that surrounds the Manor.

We've continued with the teamworking skills on the sensory trail as the children navigate a series of obstacles whilst they are all blindfolded!

After dinner we have a balloon splash challenge to look forward to and maybe, perhaps, an early night!

Day Four

Happy Birthday to Jacob Day

The children have a had another fun filled day. They completed an assault challenge followed by fun and games on the climbing wall. We all had a lovely lunch that included some yummy cup cakes for Jacob’s birthday. He was given a special birthday badge where he could be first in the queue for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This afternoon we have enjoyed a coastal walk and air rifle shooting. This evening, the children will participate in a game called - Around the World and visit the shop to buy souvenirs.

The children have all had a wonderful time, they have been super kind and very supportive of each other. As always, they have been beautifully behaved and done themselves and the school proud.

Thursday 12th May and Friday 13th May

Our Form 4 children are having the best time at Danbury Outdoors. After having a delicious school packed lunch, the children then settled into their cabins. It is always funny to watch the children attempt to make their beds! After this, the children started their activities. They had the most fantastic time doing the Zip Wire and Aerial Trekking. They were all so brave and really pushed themselves out of their comfort zones. What a wonderful experience for them. The children then had some cabin time and played outside with their friends before the delicious dinner. This was much needed after all of their activities! The children are really looking forward to the vertical obstacle course and the obstacle course in the woods tomorrow. They are thoroughly enjoying their first residential trip and making lots of special memories. Well done, Form 4.
