Year 8 Bockleton Residential

Over the weekend (Sat 8th & Sun 9th Feb) THS and Café 27 arranged for 41 year 8 pupils to visit Bockleton Study Centre where they joined in with a range of fun outdoor activities. These included orienteering, tunnelling, low ropes obstacle course, crate stack and power fan to name a few.

Alongside the year 8 pupils, there was also 8 young leaders from year 9 and 10, who all attended the same weekend when they were in year 8 themselves.

Pupils arrived at the centre at 9:30am on Saturday and were shown to their rooms by some of the young leaders. After everyone had arrived and introduced to the staff they were divided into four groups where they spent the day completing the activities listed above in a rotational set up; two activities before lunch and two after.

Pupils were a credit to the school and went about completing these activities in the most positive way possible, despite the windy and wet conditions; especially in the afternoon.

Below is a selection of pictures from each activity:

After completing the activities pupils made it indoors, got into some dry clothes and enjoyed a hot chocolate. They then had some down time before their evening tea and a game of big prize (haribo sweets) bingo.
