A damp but successful start.

Despite the rain we are all happy and smiling.  We are delighted to be in Alpha accommodation again this year - every child is in a room for two or three, with en-suite shower rooms.  Luxury!

We started with a tour and then ate our packed lunch.  Many of the children were then desperate to play football in the pouring rain so I stood under a tree while Mr Burnes joined in the fun.

After that activites started - everyone tried indoor climbing - even the adults, then we split for indoor laser or team tech (giant meccano) .

Dinner was good - chicken/ veggie burger or chilli con carne followed by chocolate muffins.

Zip wire and quad biking were the last events of the day - Miss Reid went at a good speed and splashed through all the puddles.

As I write the children are all happily splashing around in the swimming pool, before hot chocolate and bed.

We need to be in bed at a reasonable hour as we are not thrilled with our breakfast slot - 7:05a.m!
