Day 5 photographs . . .

Delayed update . . .

As promised we will continue to post photographs from our three cameras.

We hope the washing machines are coping with the Welsh mud and that you have all enjoyed being reunited once more.

You gave us all a fabulous welcome home; thank you.

School Council attend meeting

Last night the Key Stage Two School Councillors attended a full govenors' meeting.
The pupils gave an update of  some of the  work that is going on in  school at the moment.

Their presentation included Powerpoint slides about our developing use of Question Trees and Working Walls.

The children also explained to the meeting how our house point system has been updated.

They answered questions sensibly and thoughtfully. All the pupils that attended were a credit. They should be very proud of themselves.
Here are the children pictured with our Chair of Govenors Mrs Pam Garrington.

Day 4

Another fabulous day!

Activities for today:
survival skills
blind trail
nature walk
raft building
abseiling
bivi building
rifle shooting!!

Weather:
Extremely cold, but no rain until this evening and then only a wee trickle.

Food:
They are eating well - some are regulars at munching seconds! - many trying new things.

Packing our cases may take a little time, so this may be the last blog from Abernant Lake Hotel.  I will, however, add more photographs when I have the opportunity.

Please prepare your washing machines for an unimaginable amount of Welsh mud!

See you all tomorrow.

Day 4 Photographs

Thank you . . .

Thank you all for your comments.

I was going to load some more photos - but the next session has just started! - guess I'll do that later then.

The children have enjoyed chicken burgers for lunch and are looking forward to the vending machine tonight!

Day 3

So sorry I didn't get the opportunity to update you yesterday; can't think what else I was doing!!!!

Yesterday we were out on the lake.  We all (yes even Mrs Clewer, Mrs Russell & even me!!) all joined the children on the lake.  Lots of fun was had and not too wet.  Some super personal challenges have been achieved again.

The afternoon was filled with fabulous views of the landscape through a 3 hour hill walk.  Both staff and children coped really well with the hike.  I have to say, this year is the first year I have joined this activity (normally I would catch-up on the blog), it was simply amazing.  Your children's map reading skills are to be admired.  Even the instructors were impressed!!

We are currently all line up, ready and waiting for our breakfast and the fun of the day ahead.

Be very proud of your children; they are polite, kind and working as a team.
