Dinner time and night walk

For dinner, we had as much pasta and bolognaise as we could eat, followed by homemade raspberry sponge cake and raspberry ripple ice cream.  We then found our torches and headed out for our night walk. We followed the river and navigated our way to a clearing where we switched off our torches and enjoyed […]

Moorland and woodland walk

      This afternoon, we walked up and up and up into the woods. We learnt about deciduous and coniferous trees, as well as different moss and lichens. Some us were brave and tasted some gorse whilst others lost their shoes/boots in the bogs. All were recovered. We climbed a tor with stunning views […]

Body Board

Some photos of this morning’s Body Board session…

…and then this happened!

We’d just all settled down for the night when the fire alarm went off. We were so impressed with the children who got up, put a hoodie and shoes on and headed down to our assembly point, just like we practised. They also sat very quietly whilst the Instructors checked everyone was out. We’ll just […]
