Success for the Sport Baccalaureate students!

The second year BTEC students ran a very good day canoeing for the year 7&8 students. The weather was sunny but cold in the wind and they did  a great job of keeping the youngsters motivated and enthralled throughout. 

Discoverers Club go canoeing and fall in lots

We did set out to go canoeing, and while there are no pictures of people actually in the water, rest assured ample time was spent falling in, tipping other people in, doing hand stands, swimming around and generally being soggy. I was fully engaged emptying canoes all evening

Silver DofE Canoe training

Well done to all those out canoeing today, we were spared the rain and wind until just as we got off. An efficient and motivated group :)
