Hazard Alley
August 1, 2008 on 6:22 pm | In Uncategorized | No CommentsThe first day of August saw year 6 and 7 students meet at the Steelbacks Study Centre to try out the Apple computers, make name badges, and have a game of continuous cricket before heading for Milton Keynes to visit Hazard Alley.
There they experienced a number of scenarios aimed at teaching them how to keep themselves safe - they learned about fire safety, water safety, road safety, the dangers of building sites and railways, farms and dark alleys. They looked at dangerous situations in the home and watched a video about internet safety. They also practised making a 999 call and how to put an unconscious person into the recovery position.
Back to Grendon
August 1, 2008 on 5:52 pm | In Uncategorized | No CommentsKic.in2.study students returned to Grendon at the end of July. This time we tried the climbing and abseiling tower, the zip wire and the low ropes - including the dreaded swamp!! The weather was wonderful and everyone had a great day. For some it was the opportunity to overcome a fear of heights, for others a day to challenge oneself, and for others a chance to improve on previous achievements.
Everyone demonstrated either bravery or determination and everyone could be proud of themselves. Some people impressed with the support and encouragement they offered to others. Thanks go to Kurt, Tom and Stephen from Grendon who made it possible for us to have such a good day.
