Lower 6th Assessed one day

 

Today the first year Sport Baccalaureate students completed their assessed one day out. The weather improved as it said it would and students managed the climbing, navigating and walking independently and with the occasional smile!

Bushcraft

 

Today the U6 BTEC students ventured up to the bushcraft sight at Marjons to practice making fires and their culinary skills ready for their expedition at the end of the year.  Pizzas, jacket potatoes, trout and marshmallows were on the menu.

Dewerstone Adventure

 

Outdoor Ed club expanded tonight and three students went climbing and abseiling at the Dewerstone in the evening sun.  

Ten Tors Event

Well done to all those who took part in the Ten Tors event this weekend.  Months of training out on Dartmoor in all weather conditions saw everyone in both teams complete the challenge in good time.

Ready, Steady, Cook

This afternoon the U6 and L6 BTEC students came together to experiment and practice their culinary skills on a trangia before expeditions at the end of the year. 

Paddle club on the Dart

 

Well done to those who were on the Dart on Wednesday afternoon. We had an extended session to fit in the travel and time needed on the water, but everyone improved significantly and by the end were able to break in and out and ferry glide at will. Next week we are, weather permitting, in racing boats going quickly!

Bronze DofE practice in the wind and the rain

 

The rain did not dampen spirits and the students had a great time putting to practice the many months of planning and preparation. Full steam ahead for the assessed expedition on Exmoor!
