Good morning everyone!
Everyone sleeping soundly now so more difficult to get them up!!
We are just about to head off to breakfast before starting our penultimate day of residential. We are looking forward to our morning activities of fencing, climbing, problem solving and orienteering.
After lunch and another shop visit we will have the giant swing and archery.
Will keep you all posted as always throughout the day.
We have had a very busy afternoon indeed! Straight after the canoeing activity ( which the children absolutely loved) we had our first shop visit of the week and most of the children – don’t be too surprised- actually spent and brought sensibly. So there was some pick and mix left by the time we left!
We are just now back from dinner and getting ready for our disco! Children are looking forward to breaking out a few moves on the dance floor! The DJ has a popular playlist set up but will also be taking requests – let’s hope that’s from the adults too!
The Year 6 children had a wonderful afternoon in the sea at the Isle of Wight residential during their canoeing activity. We didn’t scare any of the fish -promise!
Year 6 had a brilliant time in the fencing activity this morning- en garde everyone!
We had to use some serious brain power today in the problem solving activity! A lot of lateral thinking and thinking outside the box was called for. We enjoyed the different solutions we found and working as a team.
In the survivor activity we learnt how to use knives to carve wood, create fires with flints (and keep them going!), build shelters and then take shelter in them!
Good morning on our third day here! Everyone slept much better yesterday and we are all up and ready for breakfast. Today we will be doing a problem solving, survivor and fencing activity in the morning. We have also been given one of our shop visit slots today just before afternoon activities. About which the children are very excited! In the afternoon we are doing canoeing and then after dinner our afternoon activity is ‘passport to the world’. We will post regularly throughout the day as always. Children cannot tell me yet what they think will be their favourite activity – but they can’t wait for it all!
There will also be additional photos of the past activities going up, so please check back regularly 🙂
Have a good day!
We finished the day with a game of laser tag in the woods. The adults took cover whilst the children were put into two teams and let loose with laser guns in the woods! What an absolute blast!!!!
We reached some heady heights in the climbing activity -we all gave it a go and were surprised by how far up we got!!!
We practiced our circus skills in the trapeze activity -we are convinced that some of us have a future career in this line of entertainment should we choose to pursue it!
