Residential Visits

Our final full day at Plas has been a brilliant day for everyone! 

Today, we all had our 'mountain walk day'. We have been particularly lucky with the weather this week but especially today. We woke up to wonderful sunshine, which continued for the majority of the day. A few drops of rain only…

A big hello from Plas! 

We have had a wonderful few days in Wales, enjoying the beautiful views and nature around us in the local area. All of the groups have had a brilliant couple of days doing split activities with their instructors: Dan/Geoff, Lucy, Mel and Kev. 

One of the activity that…

We have had a very busy day today, arriving at Plas early afternoon.  

On the way to Plas, we stopped at Langollen for a quick break and got to enjoy the Welsh scenery for the second part of our journey. 

Once we arrived at Plas, we unpacked the coach and were introduced to our residential…

After a swift and enjoyable coach journey, we arrived at Edgmond Hall. On arrival, we were introduced to the Edgmond Hall staff and had a tour of the site. After a fire, health and safety talk, we packed our rucksack so all the essential items we needed for our activities were ready in our…

Day Four!

Day four at Plas has been exciting as it has been our last full day of activities. We started the day by completing our jobs and preparing for breakfast. Once we had done this, we had some free time.

Breakfast was cereal and then hash browns, beans and toast. We then tidied away…

Day Three!

Day Three started well with breakfast. We had a variety of cereal and then a cooked breakfast consisting of hash browns, beans and toast.

Miss Tudor’s group spent the day on a mountain hike. We walked up Crimpiou and made it to the top which was a 470m ascend! We ate our lunch…

Day Two!

It was an early start here in Plas as some of us were up at 6:45 dressed and ready for the day ahead! We tidied our rooms, got ready and went down for breakfast which was cereal, followed by toast, hash browns and beans.

Once we had finished tidying, we met with our group leaders…

Day One!

We arrived in Plas at around 13:30 and have been exploring our new home for the week! We have made our beds, prepared our rooms and got all of our equipment ready for our first day of activities tomorrow. 

Once we had a tour of the site, we spent some time outside playing football…

Our penultimate day...

Thursday was another fantastic day at Edgmond Hall and in the morning children rotated again and did the activity/ animal feeding they had not yet done that week. (See previous blogs) 

After lunch, we made memory rockets where children reflected on the activities they…

Wednesday was another successful day at Edgmond Hall, and we were very lucky to avoid most of the storm, only having a sprinkling of rain! 

After a sleepy start (boys seem to be far better at getting up and ready in the morning than some of the girls), we had breakfast which was cereal,…

Last night was our first night at Edgmond Hall, and it is safe to say, once all was asleep, children slept like babies. We were up at 7.30am, a lie I for some, and once we had brushed our teeth, got dressed and made our beds, we headed down stairs to statt rewards for best beds, set up the tables…
