Whitemoor Lakes
On the 11th, 12th and 13th of May over 100 Year 7 students (and 11 teachers and other staff) went on a residential trip to Whitemoor Lakes, which is an activity centre near Alrewas by Lichfield. We had a great time doing numerous activities like climbing, zip-wiring, abseiling, high ropes, team games and problem-solving. These were the outdoor activities. The indoor activities were fencing and archery. In addition, there were a couple of water activities – canoeing and raft-building. During the breaks and in the evening, there were some games to play including pool, table hockey and table tennis. We enjoyed playing them! Furthermore, the food at the Centre was delicious; there was variety of food to eat including vegetarian and halal choices. On the subject of food, there were also two vending machines, one for snacks and the other for drinks. At 10:30 pm each day we went to bed. There were 4 lodges -Buttermere, Chasewater, Coniston and Derwent. In most dormitories (for 4 or 5 people), there were one bunk bed and two single beds and in other rooms there were two bunk beds and one single. There was a lot of space to store clothes in wardrobes and there was a shower room attached to each room. In each lodge, there also was a lounge with a television which had all the Freeview channels. Overall, our visit to Whitemoor Lakes was the best residential trip ever!!!
