We took some of our year 6 pupils to a 5 aside football tournament alongside other schools in the Derwentside area. Although we didn't win we got a few goals and had a great evening. Excellent sporting spirit all round. We are very proud! Well done!

First day at Howtown - Strachan team going for a jogging dip! Well done everyone for showing resilience!

Tabei team also testing their resilience in the jogging dip - special well done to Jayden, Harry and Lucas for taking a full dive!

Team Strachen climbed to the top of Hallin Fell today. It took resilience and determination but we did it with pride. Our efforts were rewarded with an evening cook out followed by hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows around the camp fire

Day 2 - Tabei Team ventured out to go gorge walking today. We played some team-building games in the woods and got thoroughly soaked in the gorge. Our teamwork and determination was rewarded with a meal around the fire, including some hot chocolate and marshmallows ☕️😋

Day 3 -Strachen team enjoyed a morning of canoeing on the lake before a spot of lunch. Our afternoon was spent rock climbing. We identified our own challenges and shared how we’ve overcome them with the support of our team.

Team Strachen’s last full day at Outward Bound Ullswater and Howtown We put our teamwork skills to the test rowing across the lake against the wind before lunch and boiling our own water for hot choc to warm us up. We spent the afternoon gorge walking and this evening orienteering in the dark.

Just a snippet of how our evenings have been spent at Outward Bound Ullswater and Howtown Although we’ve had the best time away, we have missed our families and can’t wait to be reunited tomorrow 🥰

Our last morning, cleaning down our equipment then tunneling for Strachen team and team games for Tabei. We’ve had an amazing time. Thank you Outward Bound Ullswater and Howtown
