Thank you for taking the time to visit our blog.
 
We hope that you enjoy our photo movie of our week at Woodrow High House. The photos really capture and underline the key characteristics, skills and attributes that we feel are essential and deserved of every young person that we work with.

Sunny and fulfilling Day 4 at Woodrow

The morning started off with low ropes, everyone worked together as a team to support and encourage each other. This was a challenging activity that required patience, perseverance, balance and clear communication.


After a quick refreshments break, the swimming pool was a welcome activity in order to cool down and have some unstructured fun! We enjoyed this so much that we have asked to do it again before we go home on Friday.

After another tasty lunch, we did an activity called "night line". This involved being blindfolded and leading each other like a human caterpillar through an obstacle course and through the woods. This was so much fun!




We also had the opportunity to walk over a rope bridge that was very high and very wobbly!


This evening we joined with another group who are also enjoying their last evening for a disco. There were plenty of moves occurring on the dance floor and some of us enjoyed choosing the songs to be played.

After the disco we got together as a group to have a discussion about the experiences of the last week. This was also used as a diversion tactic to allow us to give a selection of personal messages of thanks and goodbye to 1 of our youth workers, Martin. Martin will be hugely missed and has been an amazing and well respected member of staff over the years.
