I’m a Year 6, Get Me Out of Here

On Friday 29th November, Year 6 had their highly anticipated ‘I’m a Year 6, Get Me Out Of Here’ survival sleepover in the school hall.

The children designed and built their shelter which they would sleep in for the night and there was some excellent creativity and teamwork on show. Following this, we had the first Bushtucker trial where the children were blindfolded and had to route through vile mixtures like beans, jelly, tinned fruit, plum tomatoes and soapy spaghetti to find stars for their teams. The girls took an early lead, which was then extended with the code breaker Orienteering challenge. The girls managed to find all of the clues and answer the questions correctly, while the boys only managed a mere two clues answered correctly. The boys pulled some stars back for their team during the general knowledge quiz and it was a close race leading into the final challenge – the eating trial! As I am sure you will agree from the pictures, there was hilarity and shock at the reaction of the children to this year’s foods which included snails, oysters, jalapeños, whitebait, whole squid, rollmop herrings and caviar! The girls did enough to hold off the valiant effort of the boys and won the bushtucker trial series.

The children had a fantastic time and it was an excellent way to bring their survival topic to life.
