On 16th March 2011  pupils from Year 5 went on a Residential Trip to Robinwood at Dobroyd Castle in Todmorden.  The experience challenged pupils to overcome their fears, try adventurous activities for the first time, to communicate with each other, and support and encourage each other within individual and group activities.  The activities included: Giant Swing; Knights Quest; Piranha Pool; Night Line; Crate Challenge; Climbing and Abseiling; Zip Wire; Archery; Obstacle Course; Canoeing; Trapeze and Caving.

We have been really impressed by the writing produced by the children upon their return, and the feedback they gave parents in a school assembly.

On 17th March 2010 pupils from Year 5 were visited by Peter Stead from The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS).  The Great North Air Ambulance Service provides air ambulance cover across the North of England and have responded to many incidents in North Yorkshire.

Would you know what to do if you came across a person who was unconscious and not breathing?  Pupils learnt to skills required to react to this situation and deliver CPR.  Peter brought along several dummies to enable pupils to practice the steps/techniques required to respond to a serious incident.

Brayton Junior School would like to thank Peter Stead and The Great North Air Ambulance Service for providing our pupils with this opportunity.
