We got up after a reasonably good sleep. At breakfast I had cereal and toast it was yummy. Some people fancied a hot breakfast  so they had potato scone and a  slice of bacon they said it was amazing👍🏻

Then the  orange group got ready for forest adventure. We got all our stuff in our back packs and hopped in a mini bus. When we got there we leant that the lines on the map were called contours and there was different routes on the map.

We then had a walk, after a little bit we stopped and saw some fallen trees they looked great and were a great shelter.

When we came back down the hill we were told about a food you could eat called Forest Sorrel it tasted like apple and a bit like herbs.

After that we came home and had lunch …

When a challenge arose. We were going to face the challenge course! We strapped up our helmets and made our way up the hill to the course. We discovered that it was not just us that had to travel through the challenging course but we were to be joined by Egbert the egg, a bucket of water and a pipe. Us, including our two materials and one companion got started. We were half way through the course when we had a casualty. EGBERT DIED! But we soldiered on with our two materials into a chicken coop in pitch black. After banging around we found a trapdoor up the way. Shortly after the we finished the course successfully with our water and pipe.

Today the red group did the challenge course and canoeing. The challenge course required using all the members of your team to complete the challenges.We had to get a bucket of water,a wee pipe and an egg called Egbert over the obstacles. The first challenge was heights and we had to climb over a big high rope  the second was to make your way through a big pipe. The third obstacle was pitch black and the last 5 were basically a huge obstacle course. We got 76 points out of 85 awarded,for teamwork and challenge ability. It was really fun.

In the afternoon we headed to the water side to take on canoeing. We played a pirate game where tennis balls were in the water and the biggest and the yellow and red tennis balls were the bombs. In the second round our instructor Anna was the treasure island and we had to try to throw our tennis balls onto her ship to get points. In the end most of us jumped in and the water was FREEZING!!!!!!!

Today the blue group took part in crate climbing, orienteering, tree climbing and the ropes course. In the crate climbing we were in pairs and we all had jobs to help the climbing pair. We had great fun and we got to push each other off the  top at the end. During orienteering we learnt map skills to help us later in life and in pairs we went to find patterns, numbers and even the Simpsons. In the afternoon we took part in the tree climbing activity most of us made it right to the top and all of us achieved our target height. At the ropes course we had to work together to lose as little lives as possible. We took on many obstacles such as tires, ropes and there was even a net that got smaller and tighter as we went through it. We had an awesome time.

Today the yellow group had the challenge of tree climbing, ropes course and Forrest adventure. Firstly we had the challenging tree climb, some of the group were very ambitious and made it all the way to the top though I only made halfway. In this activity I learnt to believe in myself.

Secondly my group had the task of completing the ropes course. This tests all your abilities having to complete the balancing ropes and tires to climb as well as crawling through nets. What I learnt most in this was just to have fun.

Finally we attended forest adventure where we searched a pond for Quartz. We found loads of stunning Quartz especially one that an instructor found being the size of a babies hand. I found this amazing by how much Quartz we found this tiny pond.
