Tour du Mont Blanc - Day 5



Latymer Tour du Mont Blanc complete! 66km of trekking, with over one thousand metres climbed in elevation each day. Amazing weather and amazing attitudes on display throughout. A massive effort saw these Latymerians finish earlier than any group before.

We woke in Italy, we're now in France, soon we will be in Switzerland and we hope to be back in the UK for midnight! 








Bushcraft Survivial - Day 5

Students woke up early to clear away their tents and have a swift breakfast, ready to catch the 09:30 coach to Brighton. Once again, they showed their improved resilience, independence and proactivity in getting the job done efficiently and in effective teams.

After a lovely day in Brighton, where they were free to explore and shop with pocket money in groups, we are finally on the road back to Hammersmith. All of them are in good spirits and looking forward to seeing family and sleeping at home.

Please remember to find out about their highlights from the trip. Ask then what they have most enjoyed learning about, how they worked with friends and how they think they can apply their new skills in chasing their ambitions and pushing themselves in school. Finally, please make sure to encourage them to put themselves forward to help with cooking, washing up, making their beds, and telling you more about their skills and passions!

Thanks again to the awesome team at Really Wild Education: Mat, Steve, Nev, Abbi, Charlie, Alec and Shane.

Most of all, thanks to our wonderful Latymerians, who pushed themselves to learn new skills and develop more independent and ambitious outlooks.

Drama in Greece


Students performing Aristophanes’ ‘Lysistrata’ to young adults with learning difficulties, before a celebratory and relaxing plunge in the Aegean Sea.





Eco-Explorer - Final Day


A morning mystery solving and shopping in St Ives then off to the train station for the short 6 hr journey home. On the train and being out done by a rather loud hen party, a little shocked to say the least. Phones in hand and quiet as mice on our way home. 





Eco-Explorer Day 4


A morning on the beach, swimming and playing games, then onto the Minack Theatre for some culture, Sense and Sensibility. 
The actors did well to keep our attention given the beautiful views and wildlife! 

Gastronomic London Day 5

Enjoying Italian food cooked by students' fair hands.

Danube - Day 5


Handing back the hire bikes outside Vienna. An evening remains for us to explore the city centre.


Skern Lodge - Day 5



Last day at Skern Lodge. Another glorious, sunny day. More RIB rides, crabbing and tunnelling this morning. Heading home after lunch...


 



Danube - Day 4



Fantastic day in Melk Abbey - a world heritage site.


Ardeche goes to the beach

This fantastic trip takes us to two spectacular centres and we've certainly made the most of our time at the beach: catamarans, funboats, banana boats and beach games!
