“The children showed great courage and determination as they tried new activities including zip-lining, indoor climbing and crate stacking.”

Blackwell Court (Years 4 – 6) – May 2023

Year 4 took a detour to Avoncroft Museum on their way to Blackwell Court. They enjoyed making their own bricks, exploring the amazing Tudor buildings, and experimenting with wattle and daub.

Meanwhile, Year 5 had arrived at Blackwell Court and were getting stuck into activities including archery, team building, crate-stacking and orienteering. As dinner time approached, Year 4 joined their fellow adventurers, and everyone settled down for a well-deserved rest after an exhilarating first day

On Day 2, the children showed great courage and determination as they tried new activities including zip-lining, indoor climbing and crate stacking. Mr Peters surprised everyone with a visit, and he bravely took on the pole climb from which he managed to demonstrate a very graceful dismount! At the day drew to a close all the children gathered around the campfire to toast marshmallows and enjoy a sing-along.

Day Three: After a delicious breakfast, Year 4 waved goodbye to Blackwell Court and set off to Selly Manor where they had an interesting day learning about the Tudors and engaged in lots of fun and interactive activities. 

Year 5 enjoyed their final activities in the rain at Blackwell Court before a very soggy journey back home. The bus home was decidedly quieter with lots of the children falling asleep after an extremely busy few days.
