Our last full day! Breakfast was a choice between bacon and baked beans, veggie sausage and baked beans, and cereal and baked beans. The children ate really well and then got ready for another full on day of activities! Today, blue and green teams had the sensory trail, crate challenge, problem solving and vertical challenge. Yellow team had the zip wire, challenge course, crate challenge and sensory trail.

Blue team’s highlight of the day was definitely the crate challenge. I am unsure whether it was the satisfaction of building and climbing a tower that was the favourite part, or kicking it to bits at the end. A close second may well be the sensory trail – a blindfolded obstacle course that required the whole team to work together to navigate the path (obviously helped along the way by Mr George’s laughter).

Green team also had an excellent time on the crate challenge (for similar reasons!). They also had a really successful run on the vertical challenge with a lot of people pushing themselves really hard and accomplishing things that they hadn’t thought themselves possible of. We are all, as ever, really impressed by the courage and determination of the children.

Yellow team’s highlights must include the zip wire – again, lots of examples of children pushing themselves onto things that they may have found scary, but were well within their reach to accomplish. An honourable mention should go to the challenge course – I think crawling through a ‘carwash’ of tires might be my favourite photo opportunity!

Tonight we had dinner options of pasta bolognese, meatballs or lentil pie. We’ve eaten really well all week and whilst we may have had some less adventurous eaters, I think they’ve pushed themselves as well! Our evening activity was robot wars, which involved completing a series of challenges to earn materials to create a robot. Now off to bed to get ready for our morning activities and trip back tomorrow – see you all soon!
