Year 4 Adventure Day at the Hollowford Centre

On Monday, the children in Year 4 visited the Hollowford Centre in Castleton for a fantastic day of adventure. The centre provided the perfect setting for adventure, learning, and teamwork. From the moment we arrived, Year 4 were eager to dive into the activities, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

 

The children had the chance to try a wide variety of activities that tested their courage, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

 

We were excited to try three different activities: the zipwire, archery and bushcraft. 

 

The zipwire was an exhilarating experience that had everyone’s adrenaline pumping! The students had the chance to fly across the open air and over a small pond. It was an activity that pushed everyone to face their fears and build confidence, especially when seeing their friends soar through the air with big smiles on their faces. There was plenty of cheering as each person took their turn. The zipwire provided an experience no one will forget!

Archery was another exciting challenge where the children had the chance to test their focus, coordination, and patience. After a brief lesson on safety and technique, everyone got their turn to shoot arrows at the target. It was amazing to see how quickly they improved as they practiced their aim and concentration. It was a fun way to engage in a traditional sport that requires skill and focus, and many students found they had a real talent for it!

 

The day also included fun, interactive activities designed to strengthen teamwork and communication. It was amazing to see the students working together to solve problems and support each other.

 

We ended our day around a small campfire, warming up before our journey back to school.
