It was the turn of our Y3 to Y6 boys to enjoy a high-altitude adventure this Easter as they headed to our favourite spot in the Zillertal Valley for a spot of skiing.
Twenty-seven boys, along with Mr Dennis, Mr Guest and Mr and Mrs Carrington, set off on Saturday 25 March, arriving in Austria the following day. After a good night’s sleep, the boys were buzzing to get up on the mountain. Whilst the weather was a little bleak to begin with, it did nothing to dampen the boys’ spirits as they took their first steps in the snow. Then, after a hard day’s skiing, it was back to the resort for some Tyrolean fun, complete with music, dancing, lederhosen and a rather unique nail competition!
As the week progressed, we are pleased to say the weather improved, and the boys made the most of every moment on the slopes, learning new skills, refining their ski techniques, and for our beginners – taking on chair lifts for the first time and, above all, having great fun.
Despite busy days on the slopes, the boys also made the most of their evenings with fun quizzes, swimming and flume rides and, on the final night, a celebratory party.
A happy but sleepy group of boys returned to Burnaby Road on 1 April with many happy memories of their wonderful alpine adventure.
“What a fantastic week! Well done to all the boys for their efforts, and a big thank you to Mrs Carrington, Mr Carrington and Mr Guest for all their hard work.”
