Thursday evening reflections

Some excerpts...

We all woke up early in the morning to go for morning prayer. That was about five minutes long and after we had breakfast. It was really yummy because we had a cooked breakfast.

For breakfast we had choice of loads of things like waffles, beans, toast, yogurts and more; for lunch we had sandwiches like tuna and cheese etc.; and for dinner we had pizza, chips or pasta and jacket potatoes. I really liked it.

I went rock climbing and canoeing. I just love it here and we even went to the old Borwick Hall and we even went in this maze under the stairs. It was really dark and hard. We have been having the best time of our lives and the food is outstanding- you get a choice but the best thing I reckon is the climbing.

Today we got helmets after our breakfast then got our harnesses on and then started climbing. We learnt how to spot and started side climbing and this caveish thing and the high wall. Then we went to the leap of faith and had to jump off the top and hit a ball.

On Thursday I did canoeing and rock climbing. Canoeing was very, very hard with Mrs Denham failing seven driving tests. Rock climbing was a hard challenge. We climbing a small, slanted and straight wall then we climbed a bigger wall and, for the final one, a 25ft tall pole.

First we went rock climbing and I was really high!! Secondly I went on the leap of faith and I am scared of heights!! The finally we went canoeing... Yaay- Katie's team won twice and I WAS IN THE TEAM.

Today I went canoeing. We went caving and it was scary, really dark so I went back out of the caving. After the assault wall we had some food; it was pizza, chips salad and for desert I had flapjack.

Got up at 7.20am then had breakfast. Went climbing up a pole then jumped for a ball. Then went canoeing then went for dinner. Forgot to say, Katie cried on the pole.

Our first activities today were rock climbing and crawling through a pitch black cave. Not long afterwards we did teh leap of faith which was hard to get your balance. And Katie was crying when she was getting ready  to go up.

Thursday, my favourite day so far. I went canoeing at first which cheered me after getting up at twenty past eight- if you're wondering why it was because a person was snoring! But that was last night. Now let me move on... the one bit that petrified me was the most extreme challenge, the Leap of Faith! Even though I was terrified my friends encouraged me enough. I did go up and, trembling in fear, I jumped. It was a breathtaking moment for me.

  1. Id just like to thank all the teachers, Mr Kennedy, Mrs Denham, Mrs Wisdom, Mrs Garth and Miss K O'Donnell for making the trip possible and for looking after our children.
    Jack has now talked non stop for over 2 hours and said he's still only on Wednesday...

    Its going to be a long night. :)
    Thanks again.

  2. I have had a wonderful few days with a group of fantastic children. I must clarify, however, that I DID NOT cry, it was simply very windy! (This is verified by the fact that the two stories do not collaborate.) Aside from the obvious fabrication I must agree with the other comments. It truly was a splendid experience.
