High Adventure 2018
In May 2018, Year 6 went on a residential to High Adventure (which is situated in Cowling, in the Yorkshire Dales). We took part in a range of activities, including: stream scramble, climbing, caving, archery, abseiling, canoeing, zip wire, high and low ropes and weaselling.
Throughout the week, different activities required people to push and challenge themselves to conquer their fears. We had a brilliant, fun-filled week and made memories that will never be forgotten!
History day was amazing. Brilliant idea.
