Today group 1 started the day learning archery skills. There was a team competition to score the most points and finally a challenge of trying to pop a balloon. Unfortunately, even though some children were close, none actually popped it. Following this, the children practised their mapping skills to complete an orienteering course.

Both groups learnt about bushcraft, toasted marshmallows and popped popcorn on the fire.

The climbing wall showed that we have a number of supermen and superwomen – it became very competitive as to who could reach the top first!

Group 2 started the day with the rope course and the “descender” or otherwise known as the “death drop”. Bravery was certainly necessary doing both of these. After this, group 2 took to the water to learn how to row. Some boats were more successful than others – it was tricky to go in a straight line and not continually spin!

This afternoon, the children all completed a treasure hunt and played ten pin bowling, before showing their best dance moves to DJ Horton’s tunes.

After getting ready for bed and “packing” our bags, we ventured outside to look at the crescent moon and Venus. To finish the night off we watched the International Space Station travel across the sky.
