Piranha Pool

This session involves different ‘crystal maze’ type challenges, going back and forth across our ‘piranha pool’, without falling in. We introduced this themed problem-solving session over the first couple of years that Robinwood operated and it has developed over the years since then to become, for many schools, the most talked about and eagerly anticipated session at Robinwood.
To achieve success the group must demonstrate skills in planning, communicating, evaluating and problem-solving. We also ensure that the ‘piranhas'(?!) are unable to cause any injury should a child (or teacher) briefly join them in their pool.
