Today I started off in the office where the team had a meeting about some of our upcoming projects which included the trainee instructor programme with Green Lane School and Woolston High School, our residential with Year 6 from St Margaret’s Primary School to Pensarn Harbour and the work we are doing at Grappenhall Hall. In the afternoon we took 5 boys from Warrington Collegiate to the rock climbing centre where we gave them an introductory session in rock climbing where they climbed and we belayed them.

After a great couple of days off, I was at Green Lane School where I started off in Maths helping the Year 8 class and then helped the Year 7 class. After break we had a French lesson where we were looking at the days of the week which was quite interesting seeing as I haven’t spoke any French since I was at school! After lunch I was in PE with a Year 10 class where we were practicing some of the skills that we had learnt from previous weeks.

The final day of Adventure Academy and we started off by picking up the children and taking them to a church where we were going to have breakfast. After breakfast we drove the group to Delamere Forest where we went on an adventure walk before lunch. After lunch we built a den and then played a couple of running games. We finished the day off by taking the children home.

The second day of Adventure Academy and we started off by picking up the children and then we brought them back to Brook Acre Primary School where we had breakfast. After breakfast we took the group to the climbing wall and the staff belayed each child as the climbed different routes. We carried on climbing for a little bit longer after lunch and then took them back to the school where we played a few running around games until the end of the day. We then drove the children back home and then packed away our equipment into the van.

I started the day off at Beamont Primary School where we met up with the 2 Year 3 classes who took part in the Which Way Now project and we had a class assembly with them where we asked them what their favourite activities were and gave them their certificates. Afterwards Jamie and I went round to Oakwood Avenue, St Margaret’s and Dallam Primary Schools to give some of the children a final letter about Adventure Academy next week. In the afternoon we cleaned the minibus and then went to the container to load up some of the equipment for next week.

We took 2 of our trainee instructors from Green Lane School to the climbing wall after having breakfast at IKEA! We got them to practice their belaying skills and they were able to belay each other. In the afternoon we sorted out some of the bikes out at the container and then I had to go to the office to sort out some certificates out for our meeting with Beamont Primary School tomorrow.

I spent today in the office where I started off sorting out lanyards and door signs for our trip to Pensarn Harbour with a group from St Margaret’s Primary School in March. I then had to sort out the certificates for our Which Way Now projects at Brook Acre Primary School and St Bridget’s Primary School and I also had to sort out a new certificate for the 2 Year 3 classes that took part in our Which Way Now project recently. In the afternoon the instructors had a meeting about the Green Lane trainee instructors and we were deciding what to do with them over the next few weeks. After the meeting I started to sort the lanyards for our Adventure Academy project which is happening next week.

I was at Green Lane School today where I started off helping out 2 classes in Maths where they were looking at Venn Diagrams. After break we had our PSHE lesson where we looked at internet safety and started designing a poster for parents about internet safety. After lunch I helped a Year 10 class in PE where we were practising some of the football skills that we had learnt over the last few weeks.

I started the day off by helping unload the equipment from the van from last week and then loading the equipment we will needed for today. We then went to Brook Acre Primary School where we had our final Which Way Now session with the Year 4 class. During the assembly, I went outside and put out all of the orienteering points and then the class came outside and took part in the orienteering activity. After the break I set up the adventure line whilst the class took part in another activity. The class were then blind folded and were taking to the start of the adventure line and had to follow the adventure line round. We finished the session off with a class cross the swamp challenge. In the afternoon we headed over to St Bridget’s Primary School for our final Which Way Now session with the Year 5 class. During the assembly, I went outside and put out all of the orienteering points and then the class came outside and took part in the orienteering activity. I set up the adventure line whilst the class took part in another activity. The class were then blind folded and were taking to the start of the adventure line and had to follow the adventure line round. We then headed over to Dallam Primary School where we took the 9 children from the Adventure Club to the climbing wall where we gave them each a job to do so that they were always involved.
