Outdoor adventures

Year 6 had a thrilling 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. 

Despite some heavy rain the girls really made the most of the opportunity to work in teams and to come together as a year group.  Activities included raft building, team puzzles, a giant swing and crate stacking. 

Raft building involved the girls working together to build a raft from rope and plastic barrels, they then had to successfully launch the raft on the river and not capsize.  This required a great deal of team work and leadership from the girls to be able to complete the project without sinking their raft.

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 were asked to stack a number of crates to create a tower for them to stand on.  The record for Year 6 was 20 crates high, which is incredible and shows how well they worked as a team.

Head of Prep, Mr Leith said “Despite some heavy rain the girls demonstrated excellent resilience and determination as they completed a number of team building tasks. It was fantastic to see them working together to ensure success, whilst having a great deal of fun at the same time.”
