Friday afternoon we take the students to the bouldering wall at The Depot in Pudsey. It has been great to see the students challenging themselves and trying a new activity that they might not normally do. The students have been progressing through the different coloured routes at the centre that get harder with each colour. They are learning about the different holds and correct techniques to help them get up to the top. This helps them to build their strength, coordination and problem-solving skills.

The BIG 3

This half term has seen a large number of students engage with the BIG 3 activities here at TSLA. Throughout the half term students had the opportunity to access the water rowing sessions, that have been designed to develop teamwork and communication skills. We have also had 3 students represent GORSE at the West Yorkshire Karate Championships, this was an excellent opportunity for students to showcase the hard work that they have put in during enrichment sessions. This was capped off by SH in Year 10 winning 3rd in the 14-17 traditional category, and CD Y11 winning 2nd in the Under 18 continuous category.
