Bringing out the Best

Kingswood 2014

Year 6 went to Kingswood on a 3 day residential stay. This is a recount of what happened while they were there.
 

First we went on the coach which was quite fun but it took a long time (2hrs 30mins).When we finally got there we had our lunch near the zip wire it looked really scary at the time because it was really high up. Before we could do anything we had to make our bed that was very hard for some people because we had never done it before!

Before we could do anything we had to make our bed that was very hard for some people because we had never done it before!

After lunch we got our bags and went to the dorm some people had a room with 11 people while others had 2.But before we went to our first activity we got to relax on the beach. Before any activity we have a shout out this one was ‘The faith the faith BABY’. We finally got to go on our first activity, which was leap of faith, it was really scary getting up and also really hard getting onto the platform to jump. The most fun bit was jumping down and when we got Miss Jordan to do it!

Finally it was dinner time, we had roast dinner it was really tasty. Then we went back to our rooms and chatted for a bit getting our swimming stuff ready. It was time for the POOL PARTY!!!!!

We went to our assembly points all ready to go swimming but first we had to shout out which was ‘the party don’t start till I jump in SPLASH’. We were all ready for the pool party .For those of us who couldn’t swim instead of floats and woggles we had arm bands, which are actually kind of uncomfortable and fun. The water was deeper than the pools at jack hunt but u can still stand in it. The middle of the pool was the deepest at 1.5m.

HOT CHOCOLATE! Every night we have hot chocolate before bed we all went into the hall or outside and drank the hot chocolate it tasted marvellous.

Finally it was time for bed…well nearly we were allowed to do a quiet activity before bed we were quite loud and got into trouble a lot.10:30 was lights out but we still didn’t go to sleep and were still loud until Mrs Speechely came in and said that it was 3rd chance saloon and if she had to come in again we would have to stand in the hallway.

That was the first day of Kingswood on the next day we had: Aero ball, rock pooling, swampy woods and campfire and on Wednesday we had zip wire, which wasn’t actually that scary and climbing frame.

Well that was the end of our Kingswood stay overall we all had a lot fun and were sad to come back!!
