discuss a child’s need.

team-work and self-confidence. The carefully selected activity

sessions will see students face the physical challenge of the ropes

courses and mental challenges of solving problems in the great

outdoors. With the emphasis firmly on having fun and acquiring new

skills, the students will also learn to work together to enjoy a range

of adventure experiences.

Activities

• Below is an example itinerary

Meet the Team!We have a really experienced team at Moulsham Junior

School who

have many been on a range of residential trips. Mrs

Matthews will lead the trip as usual. Children will be

accompanied by lots of staff who will work with the

children throughout the whole trip.

During the day time

activities, children will

be in groups which will
