All Hallows Boarders Blog: Climbing high and Driving fast!

We've decided to introduce 'split activities' to many of our weekends this term. The year 7 and 8's will have one activity, and the younger ones, another! This weekend, the older children went off for rock climbing and absailing, whilst the younger group stayed at All Hallow's for some speedy quad biking. A track was set up around the rugby pitch and the children were let loose to rev their engines and drive off (with shouts of, "Slow down!" from the instructor which went in one ear and out the other). Meanwhile, the year 7/8's were facing their fears and scaling the cliff walls before jumping down them again at Burrington Cove. As can be seen in the photos below, lives were put into the hands of their friends as they climbed the cliff, showing the trust and friendship between the children in the boarding house (in some cases, maybe foolishly so (only joking))! After enjoying our Sunday supper with each others company, we headed back into the dining room for letter writing to share all our fantastic stories with family and friends. Many of us tired and worn out after a busy weekend, it was then up to bed and lights out for a good night's rest before a new week at school!
