Six of our Year 6 children recently had the opportunity to take part in a series of climbing activities, at Sir Henry Floyd School.

We were very lucky to have the chance to explore the bouldering wall that is installed in one of the sports halls at SHFS, the only one at any of the schools in the area.

Throughout the morning the children took part in a series of ‘free climbing’ activities, also known as ‘solo-climbing’. This means without any ropes. They had to listen to commands and react as quickly as they could; take up a position and then touch as many different holds as possible, without moving their feet; complete a timed team traversing relay and play a game of ‘capture the bib’. For most of the children this was a new experience, but one that they all embraced and thoroughly enjoyed. The morning was full of smiles and successes!
