Year 6: Gallery
Date: 26th Sep 2022 @ 8:45pm
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.

Today we had an amazing visitor in our school - Joel Fearon.
In assembly he talked to the children about his achievements and how he needed courage and resilience to reach his goals.
We all enjoyed a PE lesson with Joel during the day.

What an exciting and unusual day!
Joe from Teach Rex, visited school today with Thomas the gorilla. We learnt about how his family was taken when he was a baby and how he had managed to survive in the Congo. The children learnt of the devastating impact of deforestation and how small changes they make can make a big difference. Thomas was very nervous to begin with but relaxed when he realised how much we cared and wanted to help him.
Take a look at some of the photos below to give you a taste of the day and support a conversation at home.

Let the 22nd June be forever known as the Night of the Big Water Fight! Of course it was the teachers who won...
So much fun and team work today. Our children and staff have shown so much support and resilience to tackle some really BIG challenges! Climbing the big pole and then standing up on a very small and wobbly space before jumping for the trapeze was the start of the day. Following this we enjoyed aeroball - (basketball on a trampoline) and this afternoon archery.
Enjoy today's photographs and a few videos.

WOW! This has been a scorcher! Full sunshine all day, so lots of suncream and water hydration stops.
An early breakfast at 7.15am got us all up and out and ready for activities. Today we have enjoyed working together to build rafts - well done to all the scouts who had the knots perfected! The afternoon has been energetic and hot with an orienteering afternoon, followed by the Jacob's ladder climbing challenge and tonight a special game of Cluedo. Lots of photos today - hope you are enjoying them at home.

We arrived safely at Boreaton Park at 3.30 after a very noisy and musical journey!
Bags and cases were unpacked and we found our cabin for the week, 'Nuthatch' which has a grassed area for football, cricket and general chilling between activities. We have toured the site, found all the important places, unpacked bags and enjoyed a quiz this evening. Our PGL instructor for the week is Jess - look out for her in the photos. The competition has started for the tidiest room of the week and we are really excited for raft building in the morning!
What will tomorrow bring?
