Hilltop High Jinx!


Just before half term, Class 3 went on their residential trip to Hilltop in Norfolk.  They had a fantastic week blessed with great weather!!

The children enjoyed good accommodation, delicious food and met every challenge presented to them.  This included high ropes and bridges, a zip wire, a super swing, climbing wall, team tasks, mad hatters tag and archery.  Getting sleep was also a challenge but what started as only a few hours of sleep at the beginning of the week, gradually increased as the week progressed!
 
For senior teacher, Mrs McGeever, this was her 4th and last trip to Hilltop as she retires this summer.  Her particular memories of the week are:
  • Ethan falling the crocodile pit
  • Children trying to choose ice creams out of 51 flavours ... it took a while
  • Laurence keeping his coat on all week, despite the hot temperatures
  • Boys scaring themselves with bed time horror stories
  • Ted overcoming his fear of heights in order to complete the high bridge challenge
"What a credit the children were to Charsfield School. Staff at Hilltop told me that they look forward to the children of Charsfield staying because they are so friendly, caring, helpful and supportive to each other throughout the week" said Mrs McGeever.
