On Friday 14th February Blackwell Court visited
Chilcote Primary School. They sent two instructors in order to give all of the
children the opportunity to have a go at archery, as not all children get the
chance to do this on the residential trips. 5 Poplar had a great time learning
to shoot the arrows, despite the terrible weather conditions. A number of
arrows managed to hit the targets, but only 1 bull was hit in 5 Poplar’s
attempts. Not only did the children get to do archery, but they also got to do
some team building and problem solving activities. The children had to transfer
a hoop around themselves standing in a circle, when they were unable to break
the circle. They also attempted the tower of Hanoi problem using tyres. A big
thank you to the instructors from Blackewell Court for al of their efforts and
for helping the children.
I loved the problem solving and Kate made it really fun. She kept it very organised too!!
ReplyDeleteWhen year 4 did the archery, nobody got an arrow in the centre of the target, but it was really fun anyway!

I found the archery fantastic - would love to do it again!
ReplyDeleteAlthough the problem solving was a bit tricky, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed this day, as we all aimed for the target in my group and I actually hit it. The teacher was funny and all the children had lots of fun.

I would like to say a big thank you to the instructors from Blackwell Court for coming to Chilcote's and teaching us archery! I had a fantastic time despite the rain and hope we get the chance to do it again soon (hopefully without the rain this time).
