What a wonderful start to the term for our Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Walking Group! We have finally been allowed to stretch our legs beyond the school grounds so this week we ventured out for a brisk walk around the lake, where we spotted ducklings, cygnets and some massive Koi carp!
We managed to walk the full lake loop in just over 48 minutes… I wonder if we can beat that time next week?
This is Week 7 of our DofE physical activity programme which our Bronze and Silver participants take part in every Friday afternoon. The other activities on offer are football, dodgeball, rounders and basketball.
As a general update: last year’s Bronze participants (current Y10) are in the process of having their voluntary, physical and skills sections signed off. They will receive a Certificate of Achievement. Once they complete their Expedition, they will receive the full award (their practice Silver walk qualifies them for the full Bronze award).
We are currently planning how both groups can safely complete the Expedition element of the award and will provide an update soon.
