On Friday 13th June 24 excited Year 7 and 8 students set off on a Residential trip to Wales. We stayed at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales in an eco cabin. This allowed us to monitor the energy that we used and even see how many warm showers we had left! On Saturday we explored the Centre and learnt about different types of renewable energy, then went horse riding. Despite many of us being nervous, especially Mr Boocock, we all had a brilliant time and wanted to go again! We also went on a sensory trail that meant us following a course whilst blindfolded.
There were lots of jobs that needed doing including washing up that some of us had not done before. We all took turns to cook the food we ate; we particularly enjoyed the angel delight and squirty cream! Bringing in the wood for the fire was lots of fun and Mr Goddard was determined that it would not go out! When we got back on Sunday all of us were tired, but having had a brilliant weekend.
