Avon Tyrrell - September 2024

On September 11th, our Year 5 cohort headed out on the first trip of the school year - a 2-night stay at Avon Tyrrell in the New Forest!

It was a little nerve-wracking for some children to stay away from home, but everyone faced their fears with determination and bravery to make some fantastic memories.

The weather was mostly kind (apart from a 10 minute hail storm!) and we managed to enjoy the great outdoors taking part in so many activities: kayaking on the lake (which ended up as a water dip for some); making and launching giant catapults; using knots to make and float a raft - with some very soggy end results and cycling through the beautiful woodland.

We were very well-fed with some delicious hot meals three times a day and after packed days of activities, we all slept well in our dormitories.

Here is a selection of some of our favourite photographs of the trip.
