Windermere Residential

A group of Year 9 students are taking part in a three day residential at YHA Windermere in the Lake District, with Mr Hanson and Miss Altaf.

The students have been given the opportunity to try new things, learn new skills and have some adventures, all provided by the YHA (Youth Hostel Association).

So far, they have been bike riding in Grizedale, been on a twilight walk and enjoyed being outside in the spring sunshine in beautiful surroundings. On day two the focus was on survival skills with Carnegie Great Outdoors. The first survival skills lesson was fire starting and the students were tasked with collecting various resources, starting a fire and boiling water.
