We’re proud of the sheer enthusiasm of pupils and their positive participation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many pupils have re-visited old skills over the course of the summer term, whilst others have taken on new challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The focus for students on EL has been to work on individual skills, where specific interest or a flair for the subject has been expressed.\u00a0<\/span>With this in mind we have observed many individuals positively progressing in their participation and gaining greater skills, confidence and the willingness to try new things.<\/span><\/p>\n

We long awaited the sunshine and finally the brighter weather came, and the water activities began.\u00a0<\/span>Our introduction to this took the form of canoe trips on the Llangollen Canal.<\/span>\u00a0This helped to familiarise everyone on and in the water and paved the way for further water-fun play including the use of stand-up paddle boards on the Lake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have also invested in 2 new balance boards which are proving great fun to use!<\/span><\/p>\n

Several pupils have also attended specialist days.<\/span>\u00a0These days are designed for those showing an interest or flair in a specific EL subject. Pupils have teamed together with other like-minded pupils to improve and refine their skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One group worked to improve their paddle boarding skills, using some moving water to practice on.\u00a0<\/span>Many have engaged in improving their indoor climbing and outdoor bouldering skills and looking at how to risk assess the areas for safe use.<\/p>\n

Great progress has been witnessed during these times.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also kicked off an Archery Competition, open to both staff and students.\u00a0<\/span>Everyone had the opportunity for three attempts to better their score with 12 arrows.\u00a0It was amazing to see the improvement, not to mention the staff competitiveness.\u00a0<\/span>The high achievements from all were astonishing!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Towards the end of the summer term we have had the opportunity to run five overnight camp experiences. \u00a0<\/span>Several of attendees had not camped before and embraced this brilliantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We camped on a beautiful site in Snowdonia, featuring a beautiful river running through it. Students took full advantage of the river to play, walk and swim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We had fun evenings chatting around a fire and naturally, toasting marshmallows!<\/p>\n

At all times, we continue to encourage our students to learn new skills: often stepping out of their comfort zones, to constantly stay safe and have lots of shared fun!<\/p>\n

Well done, everyone!<\/p>\n
