Year8
Leavers’ Programme: Re-wilding with Adventurer George Bullard
Record-breaking explorer and endurance athlete George Bullard joined the pupils for their action-packed leavers’ activities organised by Mr Nightingale in the last week of term. The Year 8’s learnt the art of camouflage, made catapults, orienteered their way through the Woodhall Estate, foraged for food, and cooked over an open fire. Thank you to Mr Nightingale, Mr Woodwark,
Ms Green and Mr Bowden for three unforgettable days.
