Day 2 Photographs









Day 2

Wow! What a day!

Breakfast was, as always, amazing.  Everyone ate heartily in preparation for the day ahead.

The weather continues to be kind to us.  It's a little chilly, but as yet, it hasn't poured on us.  The mud is simply making some activities more fun - to the point of having to hose muddy children down to identify them - they have l-o-v-e-d the mud!!!

We witnessed children setting themselves ambitious challenges.  All exceeded their own (and our) expectations.

We really can't express how proud we are of your children.  The instructors are singing the praises of your children too.  Many have commented on the way we entertain each other on the piano before mealtimes.  Others have said how polite the children are.  And yet more have expressed their admiration of the team-spirit and fun that the groups share.

A fabulous day once again; thank you for the privilege of sharing your children with us.

Photographs of Day 1






Day 1

A super coach journey to a lovely picnic area.  The children sat and munched chatting to their friends, whilst watching the ducks and a barge drifting by.
On arrival, the children were excited to see Abernant Lake Hotel.  And with no time to spare they dragged their cases up to their rooms and were off to the first of the activities.
Comments from the children so far:
'The best thing about today was when we had a mud contest!  It was awesome!'
'The best bit about today was sitting down and chilling in bed and talking and enjoying the company of my room mates.  Also I loved dinner!'
'The best bit was dinner . . .EPIC!'
'My favourite part of the day was finding out who was in my dormitory and my activity groups.'

You should all feel very proud of your children.  They are using their manners well; plenty of 'please' and 'thank you'.  Bedtime has been trouble free (so far!).  Most of them are desperate to go to sleep so they can wake up and have breakfast!!!!

Looking forward to: fencing, archery, zip wire, rifle shooting, obstacle course, initiative exercises and the blind trail tomorrow.

We brought in our Red Noses and wore our own clothes!
We have made donations to raise money for people who are less fortunate than ourselves.

Alex will be selling homemade orange juice after school.
Thea's mum is swimming a mile.
Dylan's mum is helping to answer the phones tonight! So when you donate you might be talking to her.

Let's hope lots of money is raised.
