Everything is running smoothly. We arrived in good time and were thrilled to find our accommodation was ready for us. Every room, this year, has an ensuite shower room and everyone is in a room for 2 except for one room of 5 girls.
We had a tour, then our packed lunch before Games on the field.
At 2:15 activities started and everyone enjoyed Team Challenge. A great new activity at Kingswood this year, involving team work. A perfect way to start.
Circus skills followed and then different groups did different things - nightline (with blindfolds), team tech (building robots from giant mechano) and archery. Miss Reid has really entered into the spirit of things and has already climbed into a big pile of tyres with an orange helmet on and clambered over a scramble net.
Dinner was not until 6:40 and everyone was STARVING! Sausages, chicken or vegetable pie with mash and gravy was just what we needed. One boy told us "The mash was even better than my Mum's."
Everyone is at the evening activity "Trail of Mystery" - not sure what to expect, but I guess from the title that you're not supposed to!
Hot chocolate at 9:00, then back to the rooms for some sleep, OR that's the teachers plan.
We'll see.
I was pleased to hear that you have all arrived safely. The rooms sound great. Don't forget to take lots of photos, I would love to see Miss Reid in an orange helmet!!! Have fun and keep safe.

Glad to here you all arrived safely and the rooms sound better than some hotels. Hope the activities are great fun and that the weather holds.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of year 6 had a great time at Swattenden today (Tues). They built rafts, zip wired and did the leap of death among other things. Mrs Leith offered lots of encouragement but unfortunately was unable to take part whereas Mrs Gilbert was up on the leap of death tower with Elliot, Ronnie and Oliver.
Have fun and we'll see you on Friday, Mrs Buscombe
