Year 4, 2-night residential trip.  Updates from Braeside will be posted here while the children are away!

Below is the presentation that was shared in the meeting held at school back  in November. The trip kit list for parents is on the last page of the presentation. 

Final morning - 27/06/2025 10:00am

Our last update from Braeside and the children are all very well.

They all settled quickly for a good night's sleep after day 2 and woke early this morning full of beans!

A lovely breakfast of blueberry muffins, waffles, toast and cereals was thoroughly enjoyed.  Bags have been packed and rooms tidied.  They're currently playing football before starting today's main activity of Survival Skills which will include cooking their own campfire lunch .

The coach is due at Braeside for 2pm and we expect the children to be back at school for 2:45pm when parents can come and collect them from the school hall. 

First morning - 26/06/2025 10:30am

Last night, the children had great fun doing their 'night line' activity, working in pairs to navigate the hillside/obstacles in the dark. Everyone went off to bed tired after a busy first day and the first children woke up at 6:20am this morning.

Today started with rain, so after having a hearty breakfast the children have been kept busy while the weather cleared, and they'll soon be heading out on the long walk to Roundway Down.

Everyone is doing really well and this evening they'll be taking on the bouldering and slack line activities.

First Update - 25/06/2025 2:45pm

Arriving mid-morning, the children dropped their luggage off before heading out on a lovely walk along the Kennet & Avon canal including stopping to have a picnic lunch.  This afternoon they tackled the low ropes course, which proved to be a lot of fun!

They're having a snack and a drink now before they move on to problem-solving.  

Everyone is happy and in good spirits.
