Year 6 residential visit at Caythorpe 2008

Year 6 went to Caythorpe from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th March. When we got there, everyone was full of life and couldn’t wait to get started on the activities. We met our leader, Belle, after we got off the coach and we were shown to our rooms. As soon as we had done some unpacking, we went to a field behind the apartments to play some games with PGL leaders while Belle went to talk to our teachers. We were split up into teams and played a series of games. Then all the children, accompanied by the teachers, went to the dining hall and ate their tea.

After tea the children went on a tour around the site, Belle told us which activities they would be taking part in and, what time we would be doing it. When it was dark, we all met in a field to play some unusual relays and a team competition dropping an egg in a cup attached to a balloon from a great height. The children were split up into four teams called The Cheese Brains, The Super Smurfs, The Demented Smurfs and The Funky Doorbells to try to protect their egg as much as possible!

The next two days were busy with an amazing series of activities which included the High Ropes, the Low Ropes, Jacobs Ladder, Abseiling, the Climbing Wall, Outdoor Initiatives, Archery and Fencing. As well as these great challenges, we had a disco on the Saturday evening and we also enjoyed sleeping in our bedrooms with a small group of friends.
