Year 4
In full stride
Bowles Residential Trip
Year 4 had an amazing and fun-filled three days at
Bowles Activity Centre. Over the three days each
group swam, made rafts, went skiing, tested their
skills in archery, attempted or completed the leap
of faith, participated in teamwork tasks, navigated
themselves around the centre through orienteering
and enjoyed a campfire with songs, games and
marshmallows.
We were delighted with the positive attitudes of
the children, the perseverance shown during the
tasks and the wonderful comments the children
had to say about the trip.
Bowles made me happy, Bowles made me glad
I want to take my sister, my mum and my dad
We had a run, we had a good time
This now ends my residential rhyme.

We left for Bowles in the morning
It was early so I was still yawning
The leap of faith was very high
I felt that I could touch the sky
And then we had to jump
And hope we wouldn't land with a
bump.

The day I went to Bowles
I set myself some goals
We all knew we were in for a great adventure
To challenge myself each day
But first we had to listen to a safety lecture
And make new friends along the way
The zip wire was so high
We did low ropes in the trees
Camp fire, singing and laughter were key
I suddenly felt so free.

It felt like you could really fly
We all felt ecstatic and super free! Sophia
