Year 8 Hike
Well done to the 39 Year 8 pupils who made the most of the gorgeous
weather over the weekend to complete an 8 mile hike in the Mendips on
Sunday. The circular walk from Tynings Farm took in the highest point on
the Mendips, Beacon Batch, as well as the Iron Age Hill Fort at Dolebury
Warren. All of the pupils walked strongly and were good company throughout.

Year 8 Expedition Club
Year 8 Expedition Club
This weekend the Year 8 Expedition
Club visited the Forest of Dean. Arriving on Saturday evening, the group put up
their tents at the Biblins campsite by the River Wye and then had a go at fire lighting
using flint and steel. As darkness fell they crossed the Biblins Bridge into
the forest for some night orienteering before enjoying a camp fire and roasted
marshmallows before bed. On Sunday morning the group had a go at kayaking on
the River Wye. All of the pupils improved impressively during the session and
by the end of it were confidently crossing the lower reaches of the Symond’s
Yat rapids. After a restorative packed lunch the group returned to school for a
well-deserved rest.
