On 6th June the highly anticipated Year 6 Residential had finally arrived.
This is seen to be a great highlight of the girls’ journey through the Junior School and provides countless memories which they take away with them. Friendships which have been sculpted and moulded over a period of seven years come to fruition in a week away in the middle of the Somerset countryside.
Mill on the Brue served as the idyllic setting where the Year 6 girls came together and partook in an array of team bonding and problem-solving activities. Whether it was the petrifying tower jump, canoeing down the murky river, scaling over the tops of the high ropes or enduring the arduous assault course, the girls faced their fears and came together to conquer complex tasks. Dormitories of eight meant there was little sleep to be had. However, everyone rose at the crack of dawn for a hearty breakfast before taking on the day’s activities. Stories around the campfire solidified the fun filled week enjoyed by all.
The low point of the whole week was when the girls had to depart back to London on Friday morning. Tears were shed by many at the inevitable end to what was a truly unforgettable residential. Well done Year 6 girls!
Mr Russell, Year 6 Teacher
