1.35pm – the coach is just leaving Caythorpe. We will keep you updated about the ETA at Mayfield.
10.25am – photos from this morning of survival training. Mrs Dupre says “They learnt to start fires with a flint, build a shelter and whittled pegs! They also talked about using camouflage to hide!”
10.20am – The weather is grey with a bit of blue and a chance that the sun may pop out. Last night’s activity was a disco and today’s challenges include the giant trapeeze and more shelter building and whittling in the woods. The children say they’re “having a fantastic time” and “it’s the best holiday ever”.
Mrs Dupre will call the office when the coach leaves Caythorpe and will keep us updated as the journey progresses. Currently we are expecting the coach to get back to school at around 3.15pm and we will let you know if this is likely to change.

Children in the background of Mrs Hill’s phone call could be heard saying “It’s REALLY fun!”.
