TUESDAY:

AM

All the children went to bed sensibly last night and had a good night’s sleep. They have enjoyed a breakfast of cereal and toast. They’ve organised their belongings and clothes for the day and are now on their way to the canal for canoeing. 

At the moment we are not sure if caving can go ahead this week as the recent rain means the river in the caves is currently too high. The instructors will make a decision later in the week about whether it is safe to go ahead. If not an alternative activity will replace caving, probably a ‘waterfall walk’.

We will update again later with some photographs from the day.  

PM:

The children had fun canoeing, despite the heavy rain that set in later in the afternoon. Mrs Osborne and Mrs Lawrence decided to fully embrace the opportunity and ended up in the canal (neither can agree whose fault it was!). 

Lots of great team work and communication on display in some pretty difficult conditions.

Dinner was spag bol followed by apple crumble which everyone enjoyed. This evening, the planned walk to Pennard Castle has been postponed until tomorrow due to continued heavy rain and we will instead be doing some indoors problem solving and team activities here at the manor. We will add some photos of the day later this evening or tomorrow mornings.
