Our first day

Hi everyone, 

We have had an amazing first day at Derwent Hill! As soon as we arrived we had to make our beds, unpack and get ready for lunch. After lunch we were straight out with our instructors. Mrs Bailey's group went straight to the stores and got their walking boots and waterproofs for the week ahead before finishing the afternoon off orienteering and having some fun on the low ropes challenge. Mrs Norton's group headed straight off for their first mountain walk of the week at Latrigg and enjoyed lots of sunshine and fresh air. Finally, Miss Lockerbie's group jumped on the minibus to a nearby area for a scramble up a mountain. 

As we speak the children are completing a variety of team challenges before we head off for a night walk around the grounds to get some use out of our torches!

Speak soon :)

Good evening everyone, What a day! Lots of sunshine again and plenty of laughs! Mrs Bailey's group got the chance to go on a speed boat right across Derwent water before hiking to the top of a mountain to rock climb. A great challenge for everyone but a lot of support given to each other too. Some children really shocked themselves at how much determination they really had - brilliant! Miss Lockerbie's group had a full day mountain walking along with a stop at the shops and a cold ice cream to cool the down. Lots of tired boys and girls tonight with all of the walking. Mrs Norton's group had a very wet day! Gorge walking this morning followed by canoeing this afternoon. Lots of team work and fun had :) Enjoy the pictures and see you all soon x

Good evening everyone, Another amazing day had by all! Mrs Bailey's group really stretched themselves this morning with the high ropes challenge and showed amazing teamwork. This continued into the afternoon where they had an amazing time gorge walking and really showed how well they can work together and support each other. Mrs Lockerbie's group had their orienteering and exploration of the grounds this morning in the glorious February sunshine before their gorge walk in the afternoon where they bumped into Mrs Bailey's group a few times! Mrs Norton's group were the first to try out the famous 'Death Swing' which proved a hit and showed off their amazing teamwork skills. In the afternoon the children had their map reading and orienteering, again in the beautiful sunshine, which was thoroughly enjoyed. After our tea we all headed out on our different night walks. A really clear night for star gazing which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We hope you
