Exe Valley Challenge

Exe Valley Challenge

On Sunday 2nd July 2017, five teams from Branscombe and Broadhembury schools took part in the annual “Exe Valley Challenge” event, organised by Isca Academy in Exeter. One ‘senior’ team (Y5/6) walked a total distance of 10 miles, another (‘junior’) team (Y4/5) walked 7 miles and 3’ mini’  teams (Y2/3) walked a distance of 5 miles. Along the way, the children had to find the answers to clue questions and points were awarded for arriving at the checkpoints on time. This was the first year that the ‘mini’ teams were included in this event and the children all embraced the challenge with great enthusiasm. The mini teams were each accompanied by parents and had to complete additional challenges at each checkpoint. The weather was exceptionally fair this year, which helped to make the event more enjoyable for all.
