Bushcraft Trip
Year 6 are currently in the midst of an unforgettable adventure at Boughton Woods near Kettering, with their return to school scheduled for Saturday evening. Since departing on Thursday morning, they’ve thrown themselves into an exciting programme of outdoor challenges and survival skills. Highlights have included shelter building and cooking over open fires after learning all about safe fire-making using matchsticks, thumb sticks, and wrist-sized wood. The group has also taken part in games of Predator following lessons in camouflage and concealment, received first aid training, and even tackled a dramatic DIY SOS scenario where they had to rescue their teachers from a ‘burning plane cockpit’! Spirits are high as they look forward to tonight’s eagerly anticipated Tribal Talent Show. With every activity approached with enthusiasm and energy, we’re expecting a very tired but happy group when they return.
