Y8/C28 Ullswater: travel update
The de-gunge process and preparations for the Presentations of Learning are going really well this morning. We are hopeful that we will be able to set off at 12:30pm (slightly earlier than the planned 1pm) and we are aiming to get back to XP for 4pm. However, as Friday traffic is so unpredictable we will use our website to update parents. Students will have access to their mobile phones at stages in the journey.
Fingers crossed for an easy journey back!
Mr Portman.
C29 Outward Bound Day 3
Our last full day in Aberdovey was action-packed with adventure! Catch what we got up to here:
It was an earlier night for us back at the centre, with everyone getting lots of rest to prepare for our final day of further activities and presentations. Today we will answer our Guiding Question ‘What does it mean to be Crew?’ linking to our understanding of Crew and experiences from over the course of the week.
We will be leaving Aberdovey at around 1pm and updates will be available through our Twitter hashtag #C29Aberdovey.
C29 Outward Bound Day 2
As you know, we were out camping on night 2 so we couldn’t quite get all footage together when away from the camp!
Here is a belated video of what we got up to:
Keep your eyes peeled for Day 3!

E28/Crew Malala Make it to the top of the mountain!
Yesterday we canoed from the centre to the start of our walk and then walked all the way to the summit of Place Fell – 625m! We truly reached the top of the mountain in every sense of the word! Crew showed absolute resilience and courage on a really tough walk. Last night we were the highest camped Crew! A massive achievement. Alex and Izzy led the navigation.
Today we walked down the mountain and to our climbing spot. Everyone had a go at both climbs. It was brilliant to see the encouragement and support students showed each other as they were climbing. Tomorrow is our last day and we will be presenting our learning and answering the guiding question: What does crew mean to us?
