Farewell, Year 6 Camp!

And just like that, our Year 6 camp adventure has come to an end!

As we packed our bags this morning and prepared to say goodbye, there was plenty of excitement about heading home, but also lots of reflection on what a wonderful time we have had together.

Over the past few days, Year 6 have challenged themselves, tried new things, encouraged one another and made memories that we hope will stay with them for many years to come. There have been moments of bravery, laughter, teamwork and, of course, plenty of fun!

Perhaps the most special part of camp has been simply spending time together. Whether taking part in activities, sharing stories and songs around the campfire, laughing with friends or supporting one another through a challenge, the children have shown what a fantastic group they are.

We leave camp a little more tired than when we arrived, probably with suitcases that may never be packed quite the same way again, but with lots of happy memories to take home with us.

Well done, Year 6. What a brilliant adventure it has been!

CYM Year 6 Camp – Day 3 Update

Year 6 are enjoying another full and lively day at camp. After a decent night’s sleep (they certainly looked refreshed this morning), the children continued their carousel of activities and really pushed themselves.

This afternoon’s challenge was a favourite: working together to complete a large puzzle… in silence.

They had to find new ways to communicate — gestures, signals, and plenty of expressive looks — all linking to today’s theme of creativity. The children explored how creative thinking can support people who are unable to communicate verbally, and they approached it with maturity and enthusiasm.

Last night’s activities were nightline and laser tag, both of which were met with great excitement. The children tackled the nightline course with impressive teamwork, and laser tag brought out plenty of energy and laughter.

Overall, camp continues to go very well. The grown‑ups have been particularly impressed by the children’s appetites — they are certainly enjoying their meals and making the most of the fresh air.

Year 6 at CYM Residential

Year 6 have launched into their second day at camp and are already powering through their carousel of activities:  zip wire, kayaking, archery and low ropes. 

Last night, they had the choice of swimming or glow‑in‑the‑dark dodge ball.  The children have fully embraced camp life and are rapidly developing important skills, such as:

• Taking turns without too many dramatic negotiations

• Washing up (with varying levels of enthusiasm)

• Keeping their cabins in something that loosely resembles 'order'

• And most importantly, having fun and challenging themselves

We’ve been genuinely impressed with their positive attitudes and how they’ve thrown themselves into everything.

This afternoon it’s CROP game time: a brilliant strategy challenge where they step into the shoes of world leaders and make big decisions for their country. We’re expecting bold choices and passionate debates. 

Year 6 are thriving — and we’re loving every minute of watching them shine.

Year 6 camp - all arrived safely!

Year 6 packed up in the coach this morning to set off for their week of adventures!

They have all arrived safely, cabins and teams are all assigned and everyone is happy. 

They are enjoying lunches in preparation for this afternoon's first activity!! 

We'll keep parents posted with photos on our social media sites

Final Night at Camp

As the last evening at camp drew in, Year 6 made the most of their time together with a nightline adventure, campfires, and a special celebration to mark an action-packed week. We are so proud of the children — they have challenged themselves, supported each other, and embraced every activity with enthusiasm.

Our heartfelt thanks go to the CYM staff and volunteers, whose expertise and warmth have given the children such valuable experiences. 

An extra special thank you must also go to our own staff, who have generously given up time with their families to be here — their dedication has made this unforgettable week possible.

We know the children (and parents!) are eagerly awaiting Friday’s reunion. 

Please keep an eye on ParentMail for collection details.

Y6 Camp - Archery

It's a bow-tiful day for some archery and the red team either hit or miss, they are always on point!

(Please excuse Mrs Brown's archery related puns!)

Camp Day 3

Camp Day 3

The children are having a fantastic time as they continue with their activities. This morning began with a beautiful, misty view around the cabins, adding a touch of magic to the day.

Y6 Camp - Low Ropes

 Red group have been active on the low ropes today at camp.

Y6 Camp – Day 2

Today has been another busy and exciting day for Year 6! The children continued their rotation of activities and tucked into a filling lunch.

In the afternoon, they had their Clue session, where Major Squirrel came to visit. He spoke to the children about the importance of patience, sharing the story of a family who set up a shop and had to wait two months to receive their very first customer. He explained the ripple effect of this patience and encouraged the children to think about how we can show patience in our own lives—through good manners, respect, and waiting for the right moment.

We also talked about perseverance, which often requires an extra measure of patience!

Water fight!

The Year 6 children at camp have had a soggy start with a water challenge, although everyone got very wet! 

Camp First Afternoon Activities

This afternoon, Year 6 began their activity rotations. 

Split into four groups, the children enjoyed a variety of exciting challenges including international cooking, zipwire, low ropes, and archery. 

Afterwards, they came together for some team-building tasks, which really put their problem-solving and cooperation skills to the test!

Year 6 Camp - Arrival Update

Year 6 have arrived safely at CYM! 

The children have unpacked, settled into their cabins, and are already enjoying some free time with their friends before lunch. 

Spirits are high, and everyone is looking forward to the adventures ahead.

Year 6 Residential - Joyful

Our value for today is being joyful and this morning we reflected on what brings us joy and our top things were family, friends, pets, sports and jokes. 

This afternoon we have listened to a wonderful story called, In You Are Special by Max Lucado. It tells the story of Punchinello, the wooden Wemmick who believes that he isn't good enough because of what others say about him. When will he realise that we are all precious just the way we are!
