Hilltop Residential, Year 4 – day 3

Today was our final day (or half day), and we know we’d saved the best until last!  Just as we found we had got used to our morning routine, it was bedrooms tidied and baggage wheeled to the packing area. 

This morning was our climbing day. Climbing requires, above all, co-operation and trust. In fact, it’s so full on, that there is barely time to be taking pictures. So today’s pictures are simply to give you an idea of scale. 

A big well done to everybody for challenging themselves on the climbing wall, with so many of you managing to exceed your own targets. 

On the Power Fan, everybody climbed to the top, and many even stepped off and took the plunge downwards!  

After a(nother) hearty and energising lunch, the sight of our coach waiting to return to Fressingfield was a bittersweet moment. We were all disappointed to be going home, but just a little relieved, as we were somewhat weary from our amazing experience. 

The Year 4 children this year have been awesome in their behaviour, attitude and willingness to try a little bit more. Many thanks to parents/carers who have supported us with organising our trip. And we also want to say thank you to everyone, at school and at Hilltop, who has worked so hard to make this residential so memorable.
