FOX HOWL RESIDENTIAL

“It was with great excitement that the inaugural Year 3 residential trip to Fox Howl took place earlier this half term.

“Each child in the year group experienced two days and a night at the small but perfectly formed centre. Through the activities the children explored the forest, wading through brooks, clambering up hills and scrambling down gullies, learning about the woodland habitat and the creatures that live there. During this, a few wellies went astray which only led to more laughter!

“The students learned how to become nature detectives, making sense of what could be seen, heard and smelt around them. Jungle camp saw the children getting in to hammocks and carefully erecting a tarpaulin over the top before the waterproof test was carried out.

Throughout their time at Fox Howl the children showed their ability to work as a team and participated with great enthusiasm. For the majority, this was their first overnight stay away from home and they coped well, relishing their time in the forest.”
