Communication Skills Shine in Blindfold Trail: The blindfold trail proved to be a unique and engaging activity, requiring Year 4 pupils to rely on their communication skills. Navigating partners safely through the trail without a hitch became a thoughtful exercise in trust, teamwork, and effective communication. The challenge: ensuring everyone emerged not only safe but also mud-free!
