PSSP OAA Week at Mount Edgcumbe 2025
After having to cancel last year’s OAA event, this year was eagerly awaited by staff and students. The weather was perfect with wall-to-wall sunshine and a gentle breeze although at times a little hot! The children were welcomed at admirals hard onto the Cremyll ferry in which they cross over to Mount Edgcumbe Country park. Following a small walk towards the beach they made their bases for the day and were straight onto the tug of war rope! The tug of war rope is a firm favourite with the children and certainly a strong warp up for the day.
After a quick drink, children were sent to their first activity of the day. There were four activities on offer in which groups rotated between. They were orienteering, team building, sport/games and beach art. After the first two sessions we paused for a lunch break before completing the last two. There were plenty of smiling and tired faces by the end of the day after a full day of exercise and activity but some still had energy for a final tug of war before walking back to get on the ferry back to Plymouth. A huge well done to all the children who attended, we hope you had a great day! A massive thank you to Mount Edgcumbe for allowing us to use the park and Notre Dame for providing fantastic leaders all week! We look forward to doing it all again in 2026!
