Day 2 Update

The first night was 'ok'...all in bed by 9.30pm, no tears although one of the girls rooms got themselves up and in the showers at 5.00am, thinking it was 7am! We politely asked them to go back to sleep for 2 more hours! Breakfast was a choice of cereals, fruit, scrambled egg, beans and toast and pain au chocolat, which all the children enjoyed. There will be some breakfast photos on the website! 

The first activities of the day have gone very well, some groups abseiling, laser zoning, fencing, buggy building and completing one of the first high ropes challenge of The Trapeze. We were very proud of some of the Y6 girls who conquered their Bockleton and Manor Adventure fear of heights and completed the abseiling for the first time! Well done! 

We also celebrated Natasha's birthday after dinner this evening with singing and a cake...unfortunately we'd left the camera back at the dorms, but will take some photos of the room party they are planning for lights out.

We have some very tired children this evening, so here's hoping for a better night sleep all around; more tomorrow!
