Turn Mill brook jump challenge

 Tuesday afternoon led Year 6 to venture a few miles up the A449 to the walk at Turn Mill. 

After walking alongside a couple of fields the path crosses over a track leading to some fishing pools just outside Ombersley village. The overflow from these pools forms a small stream that winds a half a mile down towards the River Severn.

The stream is spanned by a fallen tree and alongside it is a natural ramp which has proved a little elusive to some of the pupils. They have been working up the courage to jump the gap for months now and the challenge was set after their tutor jumped it a couple of times, so they could see it was achievable.

There was some support, encouragement, goading and laughter which eventually led to four of the class sailing through air, across the stream, time and again.

I told the pupils if they felt confident that they could do it.....

                                         Don't think about how bad it could be if it goes wrong...                                        but think how great you'll feel when it goes right!
