The pupils and staff of Cockburn Reach Academy had a fabulous time on residential.
They discovered different types of plants, trees, and wildlife on their walks around the countryside.
They practised water safety and how to wear life jackets correctly, and then they learned how to work as a team to paddle and steer the canoes.
They got very wet!
They grew their confidence by trying new activities and being adventurous!
For some of them, it was the first time they had stayed away from home so they had to be independent and responsible!
Thank you Marrick Priory for making them feel so welcome.
