Our final morning at Avon Tyrrell was a huge success! Despite being a little tired from boogieing the night away at our disco, the children were up and raring to go for their final activity. After another cooked breakfast, the children packed their things and were exceptionally well organised for their journey home. I must say that I have never been so impressed with how independent the children have been in packing, getting themselves organised to go home and ensuring their rooms were tidy before we left.

After packing, each group completed their remaining activity and were very grateful for the encouragement of the instructors and their peers. It has been lovely to watch the children’s teamwork and communication skills improve as the activities have gone on. They have really deepened their friendships and bonds and I hope now feel much closer to one another than at the start of the week.

What a wonderful few days we’ve all had. Every single child has been absolutely brilliant and all of the adults felt incredibly lucky to take such an awesome group of children away for their Year 6 residential. We want to thank them all for making it such a super experience for their peers and the adults too! The Avon Tyrrell members of staff were also highly impressed and mentioned on a number of occasions that our children were polite, cooperative and resilient throughout the activities.

Finally, we hope the children aren’t too tired this evening and you get to hear all about the fun filled adventures they’ve had over the past few days.
