Year 4 Residential at Hill End!

Today on our residential, the children had an incredible day!

We started with an Anglo-Saxon vs Viking workshop. The children were split into two groups and learned all about the skills and lives of each group. Towards the end of the workshop, they prepared for battle – each child was armed with a shield, spear, and armour as they faced the other clan with great bravery and excitement.

After lunch, the two clans competed in axe throwing, archery, and javelin throwing. The children showed fantastic focus, determination, and teamwork throughout these activities.

Once the workshop finished, we spent some time getting to know our surroundings and settling into our dorm rooms. There was lots of excitement as we spotted the occasional sheep coming right up to the fence!

In the evening, we enjoyed a delicious BBQ with burgers, hot dogs, jelly, and ice cream. Afterwards, we set off on our evening activities which included a nature walk, outdoor games, and finished with a campfire and s’mores. The children loved singing songs around the fire before heading back to get changed and ready for bed after a busy and successful first day at Hill End.

They have all been amazing today and we are looking forward to another brilliant day tomorrow.
