Day 2 in the residential house!

Thursday 05 June 2025

After a good nights sleep, we all woke up feeling refreshed and ready for a fun packed day. We began by eating a delicious cooked breakfast to get us ready for the day ahead.

Today, the children had a go at canoeing. This involved learning how to use an oar and then learning how to soak each other with it! Mr Goodwin manage to drench most of his group. They were not happy!

The zip-line featured again today with lots of children conquering their fear of heights. We all looked very fashionable in our harnesses as we flew through the air. Mrs Hogarth’s team competed against the Year 6’s from St James’ at a zip-line race. We won’t let you know the result but just know that we were very annoyed!

At lunchtime, the children filled their tummies with fruit, chicken burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches. There was also a cheeky do-nut for everyone.

As we dodged the rain showers in the afternoon, some groups managed to make it through the piranha pool challenge without being gobbled up by these vicious creatures! It was pretty close though and their panicked screams could be heard for miles around.

The children are exhausted now and ready for a good night’s sleep. We are looking forward to our final morning of activities before heading home tomorrow.
