“The children enjoyed a day full of activities including climbing, caving and archery. The teachers were incredibly impressed with how the children embraced new challenges and pushed their boundaries.”

Laches Wood (Years 2 and 3) – May 2023

Upon arrival at the centre, Year 3 were shown around their dormitories where they helped each other to make their own beds before enjoying lunch in the sunshine.

The afternoon was a whirlwind of bushcraft activities, followed by a yummy and thoroughly deserved dinner. The children earned their evening hot chocolate by expertly solving a spy mystery!

On Day 2, Year 3 were joined by Year 2 for their first residential experience. The children enjoyed a day full of activities including climbing, caving and archery. The teachers were incredibly impressed with how the children embraced new challenges and pushed their boundaries. At the end of the day everyone enjoyed a customary hot chocolate before heading to bed.

On the final day Year 3 set off to do orienteering and a blindfold trail around the forest whilst Year 2 played hide and seek and went on a mystical hunt for fairies and pixies! A few hours later it was time for some very tired but contented children to return to WGS…
