Adventure at Longridge

Year 6 had an exhilarating time at Longridge Activity Centre this week.  The centre, which is located by the river in Marlow provides water and land based activities for young people to get involved in. 

The girls in Year 6 really made the most of the opportunity to work in teams and to come together as a year group.  Activities included raft building, the giant swing and crate stacking. 

Raft building involved the girls working together to build a raft from rope and plastic barrels and then successfully launch the raft on the river and stay afloat.  This required a great deal of team work and leadership from the girls to be able to complete the project without sinking.

For the giant swing, which is 14m high, the girls worked in groups with two on the swing and the others pulling them up to the right height for them to swing back down to the ground.

Another great activity the girls enjoyed was “crate stacking”.  While working together they were suspended from the climbing equipment and stacked a number of crates to create a tower for the girls to stand on.  The record for Year 6 was nine crates high, fantastic team work from the girls.
