Year 6 Adventures in the Lake District
This term’s Year 6 residential trip took place at the Howtown Outward Bound Centre in The Lake District. Throughout the week pupils participated in a variety of outdoor and adventurous activities aimed at developing confidence, resilience, emotional control, teamwork, goal setting and environmental awareness.
