Year 6 Residential 2024

This year we visited Oakerwood residential for an overnight stay. After our coach journey, we were so excited to get stuck in!

Our first activity was team building exercises. We attempted a rope line, obstacle course and other activities that required lots of trust in our team mates. This was so much fun and everyone was so brave trying new activities.

After this, we got ready for rafting. We learnt how to row as a team and competed in races against each other (Miss James’ team The Royal Sharks came out top!). Finally, we designed our own dance on the rafts – what a skill!

Following this, we went back to our pods and had to make our own beds, and then competed in a giant game of hide and seek! Following dinner, we enjoyed an evening around the campfire – roasting marshmallows and singing our favourite songs.

After a restful sleep, we took to the forest to ride the zipline, climb a 30ft tree, and climb a vertical obstacle course! The children had so much fun and were so supportive of their team mates.

Our final activity was Junior Paintball. We attempted 3 different courses that finished with an extreme game with zero kills. This was definitely the highlight of the trip!
