Year 4 Hilltop Trip 2024 Day 2

 

 

The day started with a bit of bonding in the games room followed by a delicious 3 course breakfast.

Brilliant Bush Craft

Year 4 channelled their inner Bear Grylls as they worked in teams to build fires from scratch! After gathering kindling and sticks, they carefully built and “fed” their fires until they were strong enough to boil water for hot chocolate and toast marshmallows. Each group even named their fire—be sure to ask your child about them! After this, each child had a go at creating sparks to start their own mini fire. To top it off, the children embraced their wild side with some creative charcoal face painting. What a pretty picture they made!

The Big Zipper: Not for the Faint-Hearted!

The Big Zipper pushed Year 4’s bravery to new heights! Higher and faster than the Aerial Runway, this exhilarating zipline had the children taking on different roles to operate the ride, from gatekeepers to “wizards.” The children soon became familiar with the process and worked together to keep the fun going, Despite initial nerves from some children, everyone conquered the challenge, with each child eager for extra turns.

Team Tasks

Teamwork and communication were put to the test in a series of tricky challenges. From balancing on thin wires to navigating a spy-style web of wires, the children relied on each other’s communication, support and determination. While the tasks weren’t always completed, the children showed tremendous improvement and had a blast becoming ninjas and spies for the session!

Campfire Capers

The evening wrapped up with a cozy campfire in the woods. Using torches to find their way, the children shared jokes, sang songs, and enjoyed toasted marshmallows. With a bit of charcoal face painting to end the day, the children headed back to camp for their final night at Hilltop, full of unforgettable memories.

Each child has eaten extremely well throughout the day. They are now all settled in their beds and soundly sleeping.
