SSSI - Sunny Snowdonia, Silly Instructors

Today our groups headed out for two very different days, a few groups headed out to the Afon Ddu for some wild watery fun whilst others headed up to Pen Y Pass for a river study of the Afon Peris.
This is an educational trip focussing on Geography for the groups GCSE Coursework. Along side this curriculum based  objective the group have also set aims of personal organisation and trying to wait for others to finish speaking - with mixed results!

 The groups worked well together in some spicy water levels today and listening was an integral part of the day. The groups followed instructions well and were rewarded with a full ascent of the gorge.


Collecting data.

 Snowdonia is a fantastic place to live and work, steeped in nature, history and some fantastic locations for outdoor activities, but there is more that just the excitement on offer.  One of the teachers for the group today told me that on a previous trip her whole class attended this trip and the data that they were able to collect, coupled with excellent contextualised learning resulted in the whole class achieving A* to B graded in their GCSE, and the average grade an A*!

River study fun!

Variety is the spice of life

Another beautiful (ish) day in Snowdonia! Its been a pretty "full on" week so far, with groups pushing themselves pretty hard, with great results!
For some it was a relaxing day on the lake, with time spent both in an d out of the boats, utilising both open canoes and Sit-on-top kayaks, then off to Pete's Eats for a well deserved hot chocolate with all the trimmings, before a very,very wet evening on the Nightline.

Looking cool?!

 

 

 

Other headed up Snowdon, enjoying the amazing views around the them. Did they make? You'd better ask them!

Which way is the beach?

climb every mountain!

A couple of other teams headed over to Anglesey to enjoy some very exciting Coasteering, jumping, swimming and climbing along the coastline.

Can you see any jellyfish?

Some very,very tired looking people this morning, but all with smiles on their faces! Todays weather looks amazing, so hopefully it will be more of the same!
