“*Sigh*… Well, guess I’m doing this then.” Jack, Year 6, Professional Cliff Jumper
Day 2. Coasteering. Gorge walking. Rock climbing. Bosh!
After our wake up call at 7AM (not really needed as most of us were already awake and raring to go) we dived into a wonderful breakfast of sausage and hash brown – perfect fuel for the day ahead.
One group went coasteering with Dan and Morgan (the instructors). We had a brilliant time climbing around the coast of Anglesey, jumping into little rock pools, swimming between the islands and, finally, doing some MASSIVE jumps!
With Mr Greenwood and Vito, we did some coastal traversing. This meant being on ropes, clambering across boulders and working together to navigate the coast.
The final group did gorge walking in their wellies. We walked along the lake firstly, then we dropped down, did some rope walks and finally walked back along the gorge.
The whole of Year 6 were an absolute credit to themselves and continue to stretch and push their own boundaries whilst supporting and helping each other out. They are a credit to themselves and the school! We do have some special mentions for some individuals:
Charlie S, who overcame every single challenge thrown in his way today. He dived into the sea, jumped off ledges and, all the while, being a constant source of motivation for his classmates around him.
Harvey, who did a great job of having a go at the biggest jump he has ever done. He described the feeling of jumping as his bones shaking in his body!
William, who just gave everything a go, listened intently to every instruction and communicated with his (new) classmates brilliantly!
Max and Reuben, who ensured that no person was left behind on their gorge walk.
Tom S, who continues to provide us with daily insights of wisdom. “My favourite sandwich is a BLT, without the L and the T… so just a B really!”
Evie S, who had the best scream for a jump.
Libby, who is just a beacon of calm for everyone, getting on with anything she comes across.
Catherine, who showed great determination on the rope walk. She was at the rear and helped everyone (including Mr Greenwood).
Rosie, who genuinely thought she was a otter in the sea.
We spare a thought for Ruben’s welly, which was unfortunately lost somewhere in Geirionydd Lake… (not to worry though as it belonged to Arete!)
