On the first day of residential, we did fencing and learnt new skills such as how we put the gear on, how to play and how you move when playing. Fencing was really fun and everyone enjoyed it!

We also did some climbing, and it was really fun, especially when our teacher had a go. There were two levels of climbing, one was easy and one was hard (personally I found them both easy).

After that, we did some caving that I personally really enjoyed and would do it again. We played different games while caving, such as ‘among us’ and ‘hide ‘n’ seek’.

We also did a scavenger hunt, and we went searching all around campus, and it was really fun except that it was cold and damp.

Sadly, I had to miss out on this one, but my group did some kayaking and canoeing and hearing about how it went they all enjoyed it and all got wet!

We also had chilled out games such as quizzes and everyone was very creative, and it was interesting what people's quizzes were.

We had free game time, so we could choose a few games and play them. We played some dodgeball and a fun shark game like bulldog.

Then, not knowing the big surprise, we had a sweetie bar and brought a lot of sweets and fizzy drinks!

Now the big surprise came. WE HAD A DISCO! Everyone was so excited about the party. We danced, sang and a lot of us went on the dance floor and struck some moves.

But on the second night, our teacher that was in our house was so kind and gave us snacks, and we had a chill out time and played games such as ‘What do you meme?’ and ‘Guess that flag’.

It was all very fun and everyone really enjoyed it.

We went to Manor Adventure, and it was such an amazing experience and I hope that we can do something like this again.
