Saturday

Today was AWESOME! We've been canoeing, gorge walking, hill walking, death swing swinging, orienteering and lots more.... including chocolate cake eating. If you didn't know.... It's Paul's birthday! 
We've all had a fab day in our groups. In Mrs Tait's group Kate had a rocky start climbing Catbells, 'choosing' to spend more time on her bottom than her feet. Let's just say she was glad when it was over. However, she redeemed her self with an epic canoeing session where she and Mrs Tait beat all of the boys to the island!!! 

In Miss Bell's group the high ropes were the challenge of the day with Miya, Joe and Aaron reaching the very top! A fab achievement. We did the death swing too..... Miss Bell was first up of course!  We also went gorge walking and made a human dam which didn't last too long and we were pushed into the plunge pool below. Wet, wet, wet! 


In Miss Rawling's group the children also went canoeing which wasn't as successful as Mrs Tait's group. Rachel's and Katelyn got stuck in the shallow waters and were forced to abandon ship to retrieve their canoe. We got ice cream on the way back too. 

Back at centre we had tea and did some orienteering activities in the ground. We all sung HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Paul as he blew out the candles on his cake......Chocolate! We sat on the lawn and each had a slice- delicious! 

Can't wait for tomorrow..... Looking forward to seeing you all. We will hopefully arrive home around 5:30- 6:00 x

Day One

We arrived safe and sound.... The journey took just over two hours, which was plenty of time to ask "Are we there yet?". We arrived around 5 o'clock and everyone was very excited. Not even making beds and unpacking could dampen our spirits.  

Once we had settled into our rooms, we enjoyed tea and made some new friends. After tea we continued to unpack and were kitted out with waterproofs for tomorrow's activities. We spent the rest of the evening exploring the grounds and burning off our energy...... This didn't work! 

Everyone is super excited for tomorrow. See you all soon
