Desert group had an absolutely fantastic time at Robinwood, swinging from treetops, climbing up walls like a superhero and working amazingly as a team!
Hope you enjoy looking through our pictures as much as we did while we were doing the activities!

Ridge Team have enjoyed all our activities on Day 1. We have climbed the trapeze, canoeing, taken part in the Rocket Olympics and dashed up the Climbing Wall.
Day 2
This morning, we began our day rambling through caves. We had a number of challenges to complete and we even attempted a rescue mission!
After that we completed the Giant Swing, we have some great before photos and even better ones as the the rope was chopped.

Our last day at Robin Wood began with the Zip Line. We followed this up with Archery and a Quest.

Day 1: The Crag group have had a fantastic first day at Robinwood! So far, we've embraced our inner sailors and have been canoeing, leapt off a trapeze, solved puzzles in the Knight's Quest and have explored caves!
Day 2: Today, the Crag group have faced the Giant Swing, battled mischievous squirrels in the Night Line, zipwired through the trees, unleashed our inner Robin Wood in archery, competed in the Rocket Olympics and demonstrated super teamwork during the Crate Challenge, while managing to take selfies from the top of the crates!
Day 3: After 2 incredible days already at Robinwood, our last day was not a let down! After another fantastic archery sessions (which we now consider ourselves to be experts in), we split into teams to complete a challenge course in order to become Knights and then transformed into Spider(wo)men and tackled the climbing wall, some blindfolded or handcuffed! We Crag's don't shy away from a challenge!
A huge thank you to our team leader, Rory, who made our experience at Robinwood so amazing!

The Wood team have had a phenomenal few days at Robinwood!
We arrived at Dobroyd Castle, settled ourselves into our dormitories and tucked into our first (but definitely not our last) hearty meal of our stay! That afternoon we donned our harnesses and helmets ready to throw ourselves into the exhilarating Giant Swing, Trapeze, Knight's Quest and Rocket Olympics. After our evening meal and team challenge we were all ready for bed.
On Thursday we woke to a full day of Robinwood fun! We became Robin Hood and Maid Marian as we shot arrows through the air at lightning speed in Archery; learnt to work and balance as a team in the Crate Challenge and conquered the three C's (Climbing, Canoeing and Caving) all before dinner time! As our penultimate day came to a close we faced our most challenging task yet, we completed an assault course completely blind folded. Although we faced some pesky squirrels along the way we pulled together and triumphed in the end!
As we woke for our final day we could barely believe we had almost reached the end of our adventure. We were left no time to be disheartened as we were quickly led once again to the climbing room. As we had scaled the wall like Spider Monkeys the day before, our group leader Rienk, decided to push us to the max - this time we were climbing blindfolded! We finished our unforgettable experience in true Robinwood style by zip wiring through the Yorkshire countryside posing as our favourite superheroes!

Mrs Sutton's class have been very busy this week. On Tuesday we visited Loreto Grammar to take part in Science workshops, we loved using all the equipment in their laboratories! We're now really looking forward to using what we've learnt to carry out some exciting science investigations back in school.
