Year 6 are off to Marchants Hill and we will add photographs and a diary as we go through the week.
Monday - arrived at 4pm and settled into their rooms, after an orientation walk the children had dinner of chicken kiev, sausages or plant-based schnitzel, mashed potatoes and vegetables or salad from the salad bar and a chocolate eclair for pudding.
Wacky Races at 7.30pm tonight.
Tuesday - Varying amounts of sleep!! Cereal, croissants, pain au chocolate, toast, fruit and yoghurt this morning for breakfast and off for activities at 8.50am. Trapeze, Jacob's Ladder and orienteering in the group. More photos to follow.
Rounders before the next activities.
Tuesday afternoon survivor, sensory trail and trapeze.
Dinner tonight was BBQ chicken, pasta bolognaise or squash wellington with salad bar and bread - the children had great fun today and had earned their dinner.
Wednesday - off on a hike this morning to the Devil's Punchbowl. Mrs Copus and Miss Callender have arrived on site.
Lunch - fish fingers and sausage rolls, salad and fruit, then off to the shop for ice creams!
Passport to the world this afternoon.
Evening entertainment with games on the field and water bombs. The children had to protect them from exploding! Great fun.
Thursday - The children slept through the storm last night, so a much needed nights sleep but they are up and ready for the day today. Chalk graffiti walls after breakfast whilst we wait for activities. Problem-solving, robot wars and survivor today.
Ham, cheese, salami and egg sandwiches for lunch with crisps, tomato soup, salad bar and fruit. The children have had the best morning and the sun is shining!
Friday - The children are up and packed ready for morning activities. A bit wet, but they are up for the day and on low rope activities. The coach plans to leave Marchant's Hill at 2pm so we expect to be back at 2.45 - 3pm and we will keep parents posted when they are leaving.
The coach has just left at 2.05pm and so the ETA at St Mary's is 2.50pm - 3pm.
