Year 5’s Residential Trip to Preston Montford

We arrived on Monday 15 May where we were introduced to the members of staff at the centre who were going to be leading our activities. First, the girls took part in some team-building games before learning who they were sharing a room with. Tuesday involved conducting a river study as we hiked along the hills of Carding Mill Valley, and later on, created a parachute that could contain an egg and protect it when falling to the floor from a height. On Wednesday, the girls visited Blists Hill where they took part in an activity known as ‘Intaglio Printing’ and enjoyed wandering around the town and interacting with some Victorians. Thursday consisted of walking 7.5km along the Stiperstones hills before enjoying a campfire with marshmallows in the evening. Although the girls were feeling very tired by the end of the week, they had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
