Abernant Residential

Year 6 Abernant School residential

          We have lately been on our school residential. We went to Abernant Manor Adventure in mid-wales. The five days that we spent there felt like five fantastic months, because every day was packed full of activities. The safety and quality of the instructors was astounding, and the food was nutritious and healthy. We called the instructors after Superheroes, because they kept us safe and encouraged us to do all the activities. All the activities used different parts of the site: orienteering, which uses the 55-acre grounds; stand-up-paddle boarding, which is on the 5-acre lake; Lake Challenge, which goes above the lake and zip-wire which goes above the grounds. Kodi Bloomfield, who was on the trip, said ‘It was an amazing trip, the activities were fun, the food was amazing and the whole experience was the best!’ We also talked to Sophie Didymus who said ‘I have been on many trips like residential but this one was definitely the best!’ Libby Waters also told us that she loved it! ‘I thought that it was amazingly fun and that you could find out if you had any hidden talents. I was surprisingly good at kayaking! Also the food was delicious and the instructors were amazingly friendly and helpful. The scenery was beautiful!’ Another Year 6, Tom Hughes, said, ‘I thought that the residential was really really really brilliant! Also I loved the rooms and all of the activities.’ Max Cockerton said ‘At residential, we had a ton of independence and I really enjoyed the company of the instructors. My favourite activity was the kayaking because you could go really fast and we played lots of games!’ This will be going in the local look!
