The best and funny bits

Here are just a few more photos we didn't manage to put on during the week.
Paul really enjoyed the mud trail!



Before and after.



Which one do you think will float best?






Bit cold in the outdoor pool!




Not sure about this!





Don't lock yourself out - you might have to wear the turkey hat!

What would you need to survive?

This fire just won't light.

Great fun was had by all at the disco tonight - pocket money well spent!

Here are some photos pre-disco:











More photos will be coming later this evening so stay tuned...

Day 4

Another successful day!

Some very bleary-eyed children this morning (not to mention some of the teachers who needed waking up!) Another fabulous breakfast was had with the addition of waffles-yummy!

After breakfast, we headed to raft building, wet and whacky, rocket launching, circus, dance and survival.
Lunch consisted of pizza and sausage and mash. During this time a clap of thunder was heard and the heavens opened. Luckily for us, Mrs Charlton arrived just in time with the sunny weather and we were able to go to our afternoon activities of kayaking, rocket launching, survival and dacne...sorry, I mean dance.

After such an eventful afternoon, we headed for a much needed dinner where we were given the red carpet treatment and were served by the waiters. We had a choice of roast beef and gravy, turkey burgers, risotto and chilli followed by a delicious choice of dessert: rice pudding and a jam blob, strawberry meringue, ice cream and fresh fruit. We said goodbye to Mrs Charlton and dashed back to our chalets to prepare ourselves for the disco.

Just before heading to the disco Mr Austin surprised us all by emerging from his room in a onesie, funky sunglasses and a green wig! This provided a perfect photo opportunity which will be coming soon!

We are now enjoying the disco and ready to perform the dances that we learnt earlier in our dance sessions.

Day 3

Not so many up early this morning. A few bleary eyed children had to be woken at 7.30! However another enormous breakfast set us up for the day. As well as toast and cereal, scrambled egg, sausage and hash browns were on offer.
Morning activities included snorkeling, initiative exercises, rocket, dance, abseiling, raft building and wet and whacky.
All this activitiy meant lunchtime couldn't come soon enough. We filled up on pasta, salad, fresh fruit, or burgers and cubed chips today. We were now ready to conquer more outdoor water activities. After kayaking on the lake, more wet and whacky and raft building, we needed our dinner. The chicken curry was delicious along with the jam rolypoly and custard.
We had another visitor from school, Colin Manson (a governor) who joined us for most of the day. I wonder who will visit tomorrow?
Just getting ready now for the evening campfire and talent show!
