Team building before lunch

Before we were allowed lunch we took part in some team building activities to develop our communication, planning and practise skills. Well done to the girls who set a record of 3.9 seconds of getting five people through a tyre.  

Archery 🏹

This morning we split into two groups to do the days activities of archery and caving. There was some great shooting with The Shruggers winning the team event. Tyler was the highest individual scorer and special mention to Emmie who was the only one who popped the balloon 🎈. Nobody was able to hit the […]

Start of Day Two

After a great night’s sleep ( all children asleep by 10pm). A relaxing start to the day with some games and then an enormous breakfast before making our lunch.

Day One photos from a Year 4 perspective

Throughout the day, the children have passed around an old phone that they have used to take photos of what they have seen from their perspective.      

Bed 🛏️ time

Ready for bed at the end of our tiring but exciting first day.

Dinner and night time orienteering

After a lovely pasta dinner followed by sticky toffee pudding, we ventured out once again. This time it was in the dark and we were orienteering around Pixies Holt. We had to locate 17 different dibbers around the site as well as a square stone, brown thing, yellow thing and a stick as long as […]

Moorland walk to Yar Tor and Sharp Tor

  This afternoon we enjoyed an amazing walk being dropped at Sharp Tor and then walking to Yar Tor before walking back to Pixies Holt. En route we saw a rainbow, Devil’s matchsticks, a skull and bone as well as a grave and a four thousand year old house from the Bronze Age. We also […]

Fuelling up before Moorland Walk

Enjoying lunch after making our beds.  

We’ve arrived 😀

After a quick stop to have a first view across Dartmoor we have arrived safely at Pixies Holt.

Surfing

It was back to the sea for our penultimate activity: the waves were pretty fierce but everyone threw themselves (sometimes literally) enthusiastically into surfing.

Final Meal!

Goodbye, Bude, you’ve been amazing!

Bouldering

It was lovely and shady on the rocks this afternoon. Great climbing from everyone!

Climbing

This afternoon we have had the opportunity to have a go at climbing up the side of the Adventure Bude building.

High Ropes

What an amazing morning on the high ropes! Everyone showed determination and resilience on All Aboard, Jacob’s Ladder, Leap of Faith, the continuous trail and The Rack.

Evening Entertainment

Everyone is safely in bed after another enjoyable day. Last night we had a fancy dress competition (Bambi and Thumper won a prize!) and tonight there was a talent show. Well done to all those who entered the karaoke and these events!

Bude Town Trail

What a spectacular walk through the town of Bude and up along the cliffs to to solve clues and save Egg-bert from an insurmountable drop.

Canoeing on Bude Canal

Team Trail

We had a super afternoon in the sunshine, working collaboratively to solve different challenges. The instructors kept us cool with water pistols and buckets of water!

Body Boarding

We couldn’t see the sea at first but there are definitely waves out there!

Monday Evening

It’s been a very hot afternoon in the caves (it was a bit dark to take photos!), which everyone enjoyed. We’re now relaxing and watching the evening entertainments – karaoke and five-a-side!
