Borwick Adventure Day 3

Lesson: Learning Outside the Classroom

Class: Year 6 Year: 2022 - 2023

Following a breakfast of bacon and sausage, we put on our very attractive Teletubbie inspired wooly onesies followed by our waterproof caving suits and looking gorgeous we set off to Ingleton for a full day of caving. The caves were magnificent filled with stalagmites, stalactites and fossils of coral and shells. We also learnt about the cave formation and how the local valleys and mountains were formed during glacial melts.

Before we had left Borwick Hall in the morning, we had learnt about moving ourselves out of our comfort zones, through our fear zone and into our growth zone - our caving challenges today definitely moved all of us through these stages! We crawled through gaps; waded through water; squeezed through narrow chasms and slid down rockfaces - all absolutely amazing experiences. Every pupil and member of staff pushed themselves and everyone left today feeling a little bit braver, a little bit stronger and very proud of themselves.

Our Year 6s have all grown in confidence and determination already this week - we are extremely proud of them and can't wait for another action packed day tomorrow.
