Archery at Chilcote


On Friday 14th February Blackwell Court visited Chilcote Primary School. They sent two instructors in order to give all of the children the opportunity to have a go at archery, as not all children get the chance to do this on the residential trips. 5 Poplar had a great time learning to shoot the arrows, despite the terrible weather conditions. A number of arrows managed to hit the targets, but only 1 bull was hit in 5 Poplar’s attempts. Not only did the children get to do archery, but they also got to do some team building and problem solving activities. The children had to transfer a hoop around themselves standing in a circle, when they were unable to break the circle. They also attempted the tower of Hanoi problem using tyres. A big thank you to the instructors from Blackewell Court for al of their efforts and for helping the children.

  2. When year 4 did the archery, nobody got an arrow in the centre of the target, but it was really fun anyway!

  3. I found the archery fantastic - would love to do it again!
    Although the problem solving was a bit tricky, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

  4. I really enjoyed this day, as we all aimed for the target in my group and I actually hit it. The teacher was funny and all the children had lots of fun.

  5. I would like to say a big thank you to the instructors from Blackwell Court for coming to Chilcote's and teaching us archery! I had a fantastic time despite the rain and hope we get the chance to do it again soon (hopefully without the rain this time).
