All the pupils were well behaved, enthusiastic and ready to try new things during the weekend.
Lots made new friends and found they had new talents.
It was a great weekend!

Here are some accounts by pupils:
At the end of March 2010, Year 7 went for a weekend trip to Lea Green. The main aims of the
weekend were working together and having fun... We certainly did have fun!
Throughout the weekend we all took part in activities like high ropes, where we worked together
as a team climbing up poles and even jumping off them! The jungle run was great where we ran
through a jungle (bushes) getting very muddy. We also did survival skills where we put up a
shelter and made a fire and toasted marshmallows (lovely!). During the evening we played a
game of smugglers’ run where we had to smuggle rum (coloured water) around the grounds
without getting caught by the nosy teachers!
Altogether the weekend was an absolute success and I strongly recommend going to Lea Green
if you get the opportunity!

When we went to Lea Green everyone had an amazing time. We did lots of different
activities, but our favourite activity was the jungle adventure because we all found it really funny
when Mr. Briddon tried to go through the tunnel of doom. He got stuck so had to take an
alternative route. It was also fun because we had to slide down mudslides, crawl through tunnels
and climb up hills. We also did lots of night time activities; however our favourite was smugglers’
run because all the teachers were trying to scare us in the dark. (It didn’t work!) Our least
favourite activity was the dreaded night walk because we were split into two groups, one group
with Mr. Pestell as the leader and the other with Mr. Moses. We were put into Mr. Moses’ group
and he got us terribly lost! There was an extra hour added to our journey because of this. Overall
we had a great time and found the experience really fun!

An unforgettable experience, which challenges your team work, confidence and self-motivation. I
had an amazing time, it was so fun. I had delicious food, once in a life time activities and the
support to keep you going from friends and teachers. My favourite activity was smugglers’ run, a
game played in the evening; when I played it was very DARK (2 teams), but the lights were on,
not too light though! We had a cup and a fake passport and the aim of the game was to smuggle
rum (coloured water) to a box without getting caught by any of the teachers . . . but if you DO
then you have to make up a lie or you’ll get your cup or passport taken away from you!
Something I thought I’d never do was the walk on the hills and slide on mud, but I found after I
tried it I was laughing and having fun, so I really discovered something about myself.
