They have arrived
5.10pm – enjoying their first activities
Tuesday 22nd October @ 8.30am
Last night there was a mini-olympics after dinner which they all enjoyed. Everybody slept well (once they got to sleep!) and they were up bright and early this morning and are ready for the day ahead after a quick room inspection. Activities today include orienteering, high ropes, archery, caving, low ropes and Jacob’s ladder. Photos will be added to the slide show later in the day.
2.45pm – all the children have had a lovely morning doing orienteering, caving, high ropes and nightline. They enjoyed a tasty lunch and then bought some souvenirs in the shop. This afternoon is more high ropes and some archery.
Wednesday 23rd October @ 7.55am
Everyone had a fun evening making rockets for water balloons and even popping some over the instructors’ heads! All slept incredibly well – silent by 9.30pm and had to be woken up for breakfast. They are currently enjoying waffles and are very excited for today’s activities which include bushcraft, a scavenger hunt and a beach trip.
Thursday 24th October @ 11.05am
All the children were asleep by 9.30pm after an evening of disco. They were up early for a fun morning dance and then a day full of activities. Miss Bate and Ms Best are very impressed with the room inspections – they are keeping them super tidy, something they may continue when they get home perhaps! Today’s activities include buggy building, bushcraft, low ropes and leap of faith and they are looking forward to the campfire tonight.
Friday 25th October @ 8.05am
Everyone slept incredibly well again. They had a wonderful campfire with hot chocolate and marshmallows which was the perfect last evening. Pancakes for breakfast this morning and they are now packing to leave. They will all have two activities this morning before having a packed lunch and then getting on the coach.
The coach is due back at around 3.20pm – we will keep you updated.
2.30pm – the coach was a bit late leaving because of the driver’s break. Current ETA is 3.45pm.
3.10pm – ETA is 4.00pm. Brace yourselves for the dirty washing!
