Earlier this year, pupils at Tameside Primary Academy braved the frosty weather as they set off for an amazing educational residential visit to Plas Gwynant in Snowdonia (Eryri), North Wales. The trip offered a wealth of opportunities for adventure and discovery, sparking curiosity and fostering resilience.
Bundled up in double layers to fend off the chill, the young adventurers explored the snowy Welsh mountains, trekked across blustery beaches, splashed in the waters of a local lake and scrambled up cold streams. Each challenge was met with unwavering determination, team spirit, and an infectious sense of excitement.
Mitchell Hill, Principal of Tameside Primary Academy, said:
“This was an experience our pupils will never forget. Watching them embrace each moment with such enthusiasm and resilience, no matter the weather, was inspiring.
“These activities certainly challenged their bodies and minds, and they rose to the occasion with positivity and grit. A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated staff who made it all possible. It goes to show, you don’t need to leave the UK to find adventure and learning in abundance.”
The visit highlighted the Academy’s commitment to holistic education, fostering a spirit of adventure, teamwork and positivity in its pupils. These skills will not only enhance their classroom learning but also contribute to their personal growth and confidence.
Tameside Primary Academy looks forward to planning more such excursions, proving that even in the heart of winter, the warmth of camaraderie and learning can make every moment extraordinary.
