I am writing this while surrounded by chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep and alpacas! I am in Okehampton in Devon with year 5 on a residential trip at Stone Farm Study Centre and while a bit cold, we are having a brilliant time.
When I arrived at Anton 16 years ago they had the fairly typical outdoor pursuits trip for year 6, and though we have changed the venue we do still have this type of trip (mountain biking, canoeing, climbing, raft building abseiling, etc) for our oldest pupils. Over the years we have added residential experiences for year 5, then year 4, and a few years ago a one-night camping trip for year 3.
