On the 28th October to the 1st November, a group of pupils were lucky enough to travel to the Brecon Beacons to take part in many outdoor activities.
\nWhen we arrived on Monday, pupils were quick to get their things sorted, choose their rooms and got to grips with the running of the Trewern centre. Pupils were given chores that they had to complete every day, laying the table, cleaning the tables and washing up, just to name a few. In the evening pupils went on a night time walk around the centre. Pupils were given a map and in the dark had to navigate themselves around the centre. Some were even lucky enough to see bats.
\nOn Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we divided ourselves into 3 groups and took part in 3 activities over the 3 days. One activity was Gorge walking. Pupils were able to get in the river and slide down waterfalls and swim in the plunge pools. Another group took part in canoeing. They canoed along the canals through the Brecon Beacons. The scenery was incredible. They played games across the boats and one even capsized! The third group went caving. The students and staff alike were very brave. The holes we had to climb through were very tight but all the pupils and staff managed to face their fears. Whilst in the caves the students found out how the caves were created and learnt all about stalactites and stalagmites.
\nIn the evening pupils took part in an orienteering competition. This involved students running around the centre, using maps to try and locate points. They were given 30mins and after we looked at the results to see who won. On Wednesday evening we had a relaxing time, students brought sweets from the tuck shop and enjoyed a film. Thursday, pupils needed to make sure everything was packed up but also got the chance to go on the indoor climbing wall.
\nOverall, I believe the pupils and staff had an amazing time and hopefully in the future will once again enjoy the outdoors of the Brecon Beacons.<\/p>\n
