Fantastic Fun at Mill on the Brue
By Elyse
On Wednesday the 17th November the excited children from Year 3 went, by coach, to Mill on the Brue in Somerset. They went there to have fun, to do new activities, to challenge themselves and to increase their independence.
During their stay, they were so excited about the really, really, really long zip wire. In their groups they took it in turns to go on the super long zip wire. They were thrilled how long the zip wire was! They had to use a super long relay to get the equipment from one end of the zip wire to the other. Daniel said “That his favourite was the zip wire because we got to fly over the river”.
On Thursday, they did super fun canoeing. They absolutely loved it! The green canoe had three seats and they paddled down the murky river and under the bridge. They all played a tennis ball game in the canoes, where they had to throw a tennis ball and it had to land in one of the canoes. If it didn’t land in one of the canoes they had to start all over again!
At Mill on the Brue, they went on the enormous climbing tower. When they were at the top it felt like they were touching the clouds! They felt safe with their harness on and they had loads of ropes and equipment. Quite a few of the children loved getting to the top!
Overall everybody loved it. They didn’t want to go home but they wanted to see their family. It should be recommended for next year’s children because the activities were brilliant. Everyone should love it!
Mill on the Brue Ahoy!

On the 17th November, Year 3 children from Evendons Primary School went to the amazing, fantastic Mill on the Brue! The children went there to build their independence and to have fun! The classes were also completing lots of different and fun activities like the big zip wire, the tall climbing wall, the wonky crate stack and lots others.
For the activities there were 4 great groups: Badgers, the Magpies, the Squirrels and the Swallows. On Thursday, the Badgers did the amazing crate stack. The first people to go on the crate stack were Vera and Lexi, but unfortunately their tower of crates got knocked down before they could jump off! It was very funny when the Badgers instructor, Ewan, said “Part of crate stack is to be minions!” But it was even funnier when Ewan let go of Mili’s harness so fast she fell on her bottom in one of the crates. Her teacher insisted that Mili stay there until she took a photo!
Before going to the mega-sized Spiders web, the Badgers visited the stinky, smelly compost bin where they learnt about what is done with food waste at Mill on the Brue. Then, the children had to go through the spider’s web without touching it, but Celia was smart and she went around it!
It was a marvellous experience and very fun. All of the next Year 3s will have a big delight!
