Wednesday 25th April 3.00pm

Very cold and strong winds...rain just started.  Everyone cold and dirty.  Food excellent - very child orientated.  Pupils looking forward to meal times and say they are eating far more than they do at home - fruit and salad as well as lasagne and chips!  Todays events have included a sensory experience called "Nightline" where all the children are blindfolded, they held on to a rope with their left hand and their right hand was placed on the shoulder of the child in front.  They then had to follow a course by feeling their way and communication with the people in front and behind them.

They have also been on the zipwire and played "Aeroball" which is basketball on a large trampoline.  Another activity was the "High Equilibrium" where pupils work in pairs and climb to the top of a telegraph pole then on to a seesaw, then jump off!!!!

After tea the will be taking part in problem solving tasks then early to bed.
