Year 4 Hilltop Trip 2024 – The Final Day

After a restful night and a hearty breakfast, the Year 4 children were geared up for their final day of adventures – and they truly surpassed all expectations!

The Crazy Climbing Wall

The first challenge of the day was the Climbing Wall, a thrilling test of bravery and teamwork. The children had to decide not only how high to climb but also the difficulty level of their route. True to form, they supported each other, steadying the ropes to ensure safe ascents and descents. Every child pushed beyond their comfort zone, and we couldn’t be prouder of their efforts!

The Battle of the Bell: Crate Stacking Challenge

The final trial of the trip was the ultimate team challenge: stacking crates to reach a bell and give it a loud ring. Communication and teamwork were key, as each child took turns stacking the crates carefully to avoid wobbling while others kept a steady eye on safety. With great determination and collaboration, all those who wished to participate rang the bell with pride, celebrating their success as a team.

Home Time

Our journey back home presented its own challenges. After navigating the tricky task of carrying bags downhill to the coach, we discovered that the coach was too large to park at the bottom! The children then had to carry their bags back uphill – quite the workout! Then came the challenge of manoeuvring the bus through tight spaces to get us safely out of the centre! However, thanks to our expert driver, we overcame these obstacles and made our way home safely.

It was truly heartwarming to see the Year 4 children reunited with their families. We take immense pride in knowing that each child has returned with new skills, stronger friendships, and unforgettable memories of their time away. Their journey was filled with personal growth, learning, and adventure.

A special thank you goes to Ms. Perry, Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Scott, and Lisa, whose dedication and support made this trip possible. We are deeply grateful for their invaluable assistance in making everything run smoothly.
