Kingswood <strong>2016</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
On<br />
the 30th March <strong>2016</strong>, we and our<br />
fellow year 8 students embarked on<br />
a journey to Kingswood, a residential education<br />
centre for a 3 day visit. We were accompanied<br />
by three of our teachers and the main purpose of<br />
this trip was to help us to develop our teamwork<br />
and communication skills whilst<br />
developing our own computer<br />
game.<br />
“I enjoyed everything in<br />
Kingswood because all of the<br />
activities were fun and it was<br />
amazing. In Kingswood the best<br />
activity was the equilibrium”.<br />
Our adventure started with an<br />
exciting three hour journey to the<br />
centre. Once we had arrived, we<br />
were shown our rooms; spacious<br />
rooms with multiple bunk beds and bathroom. We<br />
were given time to unpack and settle in before we<br />
were then called out to enjoy our first of many<br />
activities which was the exhilarating 3G swing,<br />
‘G’ being gravitational. Being pulled up high by<br />
a rope we needed to trust our friends not to let<br />
go. The feeling was unforgettable and we really<br />
recommend going to Kingswood just for this.<br />

Throughout the day, we<br />
completed many other fun<br />
activities such as fencing, using<br />
Mission Maker to programme a<br />
computer game and a fight with<br />
laser guns in which we had to use<br />
our team work skills again to defeat<br />
the opposing team. A very excited<br />
Ayisha tripped over some tyres due<br />
to the adrenaline which no one could contain;<br />
this activity certainly gets your heart racing.<br />
The centre prepared all of our food for us; it was<br />
better than most restaurants. Each night ended<br />
with a soothing hot chocolate in<br />
our rooms where we promptly fell<br />
asleep. We even got to experience a<br />
camp fire one evening with singing,<br />
dancing and best of all, roasted<br />
marshmallows. I am not sure we<br />
always fell asleep quickly though,<br />
maybe we shouldn’t mention the<br />
girls in room 5 who had decided to stay up with<br />
feasts and scary stories... sorry Ms Kudhail.<br />
Overall, we had a great time and have not stopped<br />
talking about it since. Thank you to the staff<br />
and school who enabled us to partake in such a<br />
memorable experience. We highly recommend<br />
this trip for the future year groups and remember<br />
to have fun just like we did.<br />
