Writes Mr Goddard, Outdoor Learning & Science Teacher
Year 6 embraced a traditional autumn favourite this week with a trip over to the Senior School grounds to collect conkers! Making the most of the seasonal change, the boys set off in search of the best horse chestnuts they could find, carefully selecting their conkers in preparation for the eagerly anticipated competition.
With their collections ready, it was time to put their conkers to the test! The boys faced off in a series of highly competitive matches, taking turns to swing their conkers and see whose would crack first or come out on top. There was plenty of excitement, anticipation and friendly rivalry as each match unfolded, with everyone keen to claim victory!
The activity provided a wonderful opportunity for the boys to enjoy the fresh autumn air, spend time outdoors with their friends and take part in a much-loved seasonal tradition. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm and sportsmanship throughout the session, with the boys embracing the fun and excitement of this classic autumn pastime.
A brilliant way to welcome the new season, Year 6 enjoyed a morning of outdoor adventure, friendly competition and plenty of conker action!
