It is our last day and we will tell you all about it.

For breakfast we had a selection of cereal and toast. After breakfast we went to the Kilpatrick room to learn about friendship. Three groups then went out to do Search and Rescue, during this we learnt first aid skills and we were trying to find people. There was a hiker, a bird watcher and a dog walker. We had to take care of them and put bandages on them. Only the green group managed to find their person. Some of us went to Jacob’s ladder and archery. Some of us made it up to parts 8 and 9 on the ladder. Another group did low ropes and the walk to the gorge. It was fun! The final group did mini survival and we had to make a den which would be water proof and wind proof. We chose to make the dens for ourselves. The other activity we did was archery.

After a yummy lunch of leek and potato soup and a burger, we took part in low ropes, Jacob’s ladder, archery, search and rescue and nightline. By the time we finished this afternoon every group had completed every activity.

For dinner we had a choice of chilli or pulled pork. After it we had apple crumble and custard. The pulled pork was amazing and the chef even shared his recipe with some of us.

After dinner we went up to our rooms to get ready for our Cheesy Disco. It was really fun. After the disco we got a little treat of hot chocolate and a marshmallow.

We are very sad to go home tomorrow but excited to see our parents and pets. See you tomorrow.

Today we got up and got ready for breakfast.  For breakfast we had cereal , fruit juice and toast.  After this we had time for reflection.  We had to try and put a jigsaw together when lots of other people had the pieces.

Activities today included nightline, king-swing, archery, trail biking and low ropes.  Some of us had 4 activities today!

At lunch we had carrot and coriander soup, it was delicious!  This was followed by baguettes with fillings such as tuna, ham, cheese and salad.  We also had yoghurt!

Mrs Smillie came to join us for the activities and she got a flavour of archery, low-ropes and kingswing!

This evening for dinner we had the choice of sausages/gravy, BBQ chicken or chickpea stew.  Pudding tonight was malteser cheesecake, we loved it!

We quickly for ready to catch the bus to the Hollywood Bowl and more teachers surprised us with a visit – Miss Foote, Miss Hendrie, Miss Hesp and Mrs Angus.  Miss Prentice also met us here and we are happy she will stay with us at camp for the rest of the week!  Some of the children are delighted they managed to get a strike, sometimes two!

We are now settling down for the night and after we have posted our blog and read last night’s comments, we will watch a movie in our pyjamas!

Goodnight!
