We have been blessed with three beautifully sunny days in Wales. The children have enjoyed caving, climbing, abseiling, archery, vertical challenge and a lovely hill walk here in picturesque Trelewis.
At the start of the journey, the children were tasked with games that would test their listening and teamwork skills. They found this tricky at first but after taking part in all of the activities here at Rock UK, I am pleased to see that they have improved significantly in both these areas!!
When in the caves, the children encouraged each other through. Each of them taking on a role to help them get through each mapped out area. When climbing, the children were holding each other’s ropes and cheering each other on. If someone was unsure or nervous the children would help them out and show kindness towards them, which has been lovely to see! During the hill walk, each child was given a job whether it was using the map, holding the supply bags or litter picking. They had to work together to make sure they all made it up the hill and to find their way down. All these tasks have improved their independence, resilience and teamwork skills and of course they have also all had lots of fun!
I would like to thank Miss Childs, Miss Laughland and Mr Beevers for all their help and support in making this trip enjoyable and successful for the children.
We are all looking forward to seeing you all soon!!
