Borwick Adventure Day 1

Lesson: Learning Outside the Classroom

Class: Year 6 Year: 2022 - 2023

Our first day at Borwick started with a treasure hunt around the surrounding area of Borwick Hall - along the canal, over the aquaduct and along the river stopping off for a picnic in the sun. After meeting our instructors for the week, we split off into our three groups for an afternoon of team building challenges, including the crate challenge; crossing a stream on planks as a team; the pipe challenge and scaling a vertical wall. We had then earned our pizza and chips followed by apple crumble and custard before the biggest challenge of the day - making our own beds! I think we nearly lost a few pupils in the depths of the duvet covers! Our day finished with a huge game of Head Hunters around Borwick Hall grounds before hot chocoloate and biscuits.

We had some surprise visitors to Borwick Hall today as our linking school, Yealand Primary, joined us for a 'save the crates' challenge this afternoon and we are really pleased that they will be staying until Tuesday evening to share more adventures with us.
