Enrichment Week

“For enrichment week at The Cotswold School the teachers have organized lots of activities on the field for students to get themselves stuck into.

Firstly, there was a ‘capture the flag’ Lazer tag in the forest that allowed students to use their teamworking skills whilst having lots of fun. After Lazer tag there was a mobile climbing wall that gave students the opportunity to climb 30ft in the air (which is taller than a standard school bus!). After interviewing some of the people who climbed the wall, we were made aware of how “beautiful” and “scenic” the view of the school and the Bourton village was from the top.

As well as Lazer tag there was also ‘archery tag’ which involved students shooting foam-ended arrows at each other and having barricades and bunkers to hide behind during the matches, which was great for teaching co-ordination and team skills whilst also including everybody taking part.

A few other activities included boxing lessons, dancing, football, and cricket. Students said they loved the widespread of choices and had enjoyed the day.“
