Year 6 Residential Trip to CheilE Gradistei

by Maria Farmache, Year 6

At the end of Term 1a, Year 6M and Year 6W both went on a ‘Team Building’ trip to Cheile Gradistei, in Covasna. The trip was only 3 days, but both classes had lots of fun!

The first day was mostly just staying in the bus, but the children had a plan and transformed what normally would have been a ‘boring bus-trip’ into a ‘party bus-trip’. After 4 hours of singing, playing and chatting, the hotel was finally in our sight. The rest of the day was spent at the hotel by eating delicious food, swimming, visiting each others’ rooms, and even more fun, fun and fun.

Day 2 was spent in Brasov at the Planetarium and National Zoo, where we saw lots of animals and discovered a lot of information about them. After we left Brasov, we went to Aventura Park where we got to climb, go on zip lines, and best of all, having a great time. “I really liked the zoo because there were a lot of animals from different parts of the Earth; for example, zebras from Africa, monkeys from South America, and a lot of animals I’ve never seen before,” said Eva. The day continued back at the hotel with some activities and games for around 1 hour until we had to go back to the restaurant, and ended with a campfire near the hotel under a clear starry sky with donuts and warm temperatures.

Day 3 was spent partially at the hotel with our own ‘House Games Competitions’, where everyone had lots of fun and creative gameplays. The Best Room Awards were handed out for various amounts of house points. Then around 12:00, the bus came to take us home, returning us safely, but tired, to our families.

“It was fun and nice, and we got to see some animals. We went to Aventura Park and WAY more. Overall, it was a very nice trip” - Ingrid
