YEAR 6/7 SCHOOL SUMMER TRIP.
There were big numbers this year so we split them into two groups. The most natural split was boys and girls.
The boys went on Monday 3rd July and came back on Wednesday 5th, whilst the gtirls went on Wednesday 5th July until Friday 7th.
They went rafting, kayaking, surfing, canoeing and orienteering . The last activity was a raft race. The centre is beside a lake and has all the modern facilities. Children stayed in the centre which has warm comfortable rooms. They were safe at night as Mrs Mc Gonagle stayed up at night to be on call if need be and making sure that each child was secure in his/her room.
BELOW ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE THREE DAY EVENT.
