Learners also experimented safely with sparklers, eggs, and oranges to explore how light can make objects glow from the inside. These activities encouraged teamwork, resilience, and practical problem-solving, while offering opportunities for stretch and challenge through the use of maths skills such as measuring, counting, and planning. Strong attendance and positive engagement showed learners were well prepared to make the most of these experiences.

Learners also enjoyed relaxing on swings and hammocks, skimming stones in the river, and observing local wildlife, supporting wellbeing and confidence. Communication, listening, and reflective discussions throughout the sessions helped reinforce English skills in a practical and meaningful way.
