What a wonderful school tour we had last Thursday, 13th June. The tradition of the sixth class tour visiting Avon Rí changed slightly this year. CP Adventures have moved their adventure centre to the grounds of Russborough House just a couple of miles up the road form Avon Rí.
Our day started with a briefing and the children headed off in the groups to begin their exciting day. The activities they undertook included Archery, Rock Climbing, Low Rope obstacles courses, orienteering and puzzle making. All of these activities occurred before lunch time. The children sat around the fire pit and ate their lunches together before being bussed a couple of miles down the road to Blessington lake to complete a number of water activities. There was water rafting, kayaking, swimming and water games. This was by far the children's most favoured activity of the day and despite the cold temperatures they had a smile on their faces from beginning to end.
There were a lot of tired children and teachers on the bus journey home. The signs of great day!
