Welcome! Year 4 Camp 2016

Why carry out residentials? –Is FUN! –Builds co-operative relationships between peers. –Offers those of a non academic nature the opportunity to succeed. –Builds relationships between pupils and teachers. –Gives pupils the opportunity to spend time away from home thereby developing independence. –Prepares pupils for longer residentials in the future.

What is the accommodation like? Twenty 5 man tents purchased by the PTA specifically for the camp. Simple construction allowing for ease of assembly by the children

What are the sleeping arrangements? Children organised into single sex tents. Children will have the chance to chose the friends with whom they would like to share. Items not needed overnight can be stored in the school building giving extra space. Adult tents will be pitched around the outside of the pupil tents.
