Teach Year 3? Try our shorter nature-based residential trips
An inspiring first school trip experience
A Rootd school residential trip for Year 3 is designed to not only be the perfect introduction to time away from home, but also an enriching experience, connecting children to their natural environment.
Sparking their curiosity, creativity and imagination, a Rootd Residential provides younger children with the freedom to play and explore, solve problems, think more independently and learn.
Our shorter two-day residential trips, staying in our cosy woodland pods, encourage younger children to work together whilst building on curriculum topics including
- Trees and plants
- Minibeasts
- Animals
Over 90% of schools choose to return to Rootd, confident that every trip will be a success
What a fabulous outdoor adventure trip run by a passionate, knowledgeable and enthusiastic team at Rootd. A real adventure in a forest setting getting in touch with nature. Delicious food, caring advice and guidance, exciting activities and excellent behaviour management. We can't wait to come back!
A typical day on a Rootd Year 3 trip
By encouraging children to try activities outside of their comfort zone and believe in their own abilities, our Year 3 residential trip programmes give children a real sense of achievement, an increased sense of confidence and above all a chance to shine!
