Day 2 at Paccar got off to a fantastic start with a hearty breakfast, giving everyone plenty of energy for the exciting activities ahead. The children have been making the most of the wonderful weather, which has provided the perfect backdrop for another action-packed day.

This morning, the children took on the Gladiator challenge, which involved scaling a vertical obstacle course. To complete this activity successfully, they needed determination, resilience and courage as they pushed themselves to reach new heights and overcome personal challenges.

The group also enjoyed the thrilling zip wires, which proved to be a real highlight of the day. There were plenty of smiles, cheers and excitement as the children soared through the air, encouraging one another and celebrating their achievements.

After refuelling with lunch, the children are ready for their next adventures. This afternoon they will be testing their aim in archery and working together to navigate the challenges of the Nightline course.

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, teamwork and positive attitudes being shown by all the children, and we look forward to sharing more updates and photos!

This afternoon, the children had a fantastic time trying their hand at archery. There were lots of smiles, cheers and celebrations as they took aim at the targets, with many children impressing themselves with how quickly their skills improved. Archery gave the children a chance to develop their focus, perseverance and confidence, while encouraging them to keep trying and celebrate their successes.

The excitement continued during the Nightline course, where the children worked their way through a series of challenges in teams. There was plenty of laughter along the way, and it was wonderful to see them using such great teamwork, communication, trust and problem-solving skills as they supported and encouraged one another.

To finish off a brilliant day, everyone gathered around the campfire for a cosy evening together. The children enjoyed singing campfire songs, sipping hot chocolate and nibbling on chocolate muffins. A perfect end to another memorable day!

Wednesday 17th June

Our final day at Paccar began with a delicious breakfast, featuring both plain croissants and chocolate croissants for those with a sweet tooth - a perfect way to fuel up for the day ahead!

We then headed off for a fascinating trip to the caves. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take any photographs inside... mainly because it was far too dark to see anything on the camera! The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring underground!

Another highlight of the morning was the 3G Swing, which quickly became a firm favourite amongst the children. There were plenty of smiles, cheers and squeals of excitement as everyone took on this thrilling challenge. The children showed fantastic teamwork and encouragement throughout, supporting one another to overcome their nerves and take the leap of faith from the swing. It was wonderful to see their courage, determination and confidence grow with every swing.

It has been a fantastic residential experience, and we are incredibly proud of the way the children have represented themselves and our school. We look forward to sharing more stories and memories when we return home.
