River Thames
Just a few days into their first term at Waldegrave we sent our brave Year 7s to take on the river, kayaking and raft building with Thames Young Mariners. They enjoyed (mostly) sunny weather and threw themselves into every activity! They loved the dock jump and said they had the “best fun ever”!
The students made the trips in groups of two classes at a time between 16-24 September. The activities offered an opportunity to get to know their classmates better in an out-of-school environment and encouraged the pupils to push themselves outside of their comfort zones. They had great fun working in teams to build and race a raft, have a go at kayaking and even jump off the dock into the lake - some of the form tutors even joined in, making a splash!
