Rock Climbing Adventures

Last Sunday's activity was something a little different to usual - something the boarders hadn't yet done this school year.
Rock-climbing!
Nonetheless, the majority loved this new activity and some managed to reach amazing heights - I have no idea how they managed to climb so high!
The rock-climbing activity was accompanied by Mr Somerville and Mr Radford, along with his two year old daughter, Autumn. After having a delicious roast lunch, the kids were rearing to go. All the children were strapped securely into a harness before they started and were explained the safety rules.

Surprisingly, some of the younger kids had the best success with the rock-climbing wall - Autumn (although only aged two), managed to climb halfway up the massive wall. Nico (Year 5) was also one of the better climbers - he made it all the way to the top, and did not look unlike a mini Spiderman!
Other excellent climbers included Issy Perales (Year 7), Archie Botsford (Year 6) and Charlie Hannah (reception) - strangely it seemed the younger children had more success, perhaps because they had less fear about the consequences of falling!

Overall it was a lovely day out - beautiful sunny weather once again - and the boarders seemed to really enjoy doing this activity.
