Screams and Adrenalin

Many sleepy heads meant it was a little harder to get everyone up for breakfast today, but we were rewarded with eggs, bacon toast and beans. 

As Mr Duffy, who has been helping out in 6F this term, arrived for a visit we started the day off all together.  We played rounders on the field, before we split into our separate groups for activities.

Today's highlight for many :-
Every group has had the opportunity to try out the 3G swing, setting their own target as to which height they would go to; yellow, blue or a very daring red.
This a great session, under beautiful blue skies, because everyone gets to share the adventure with a friend and the rest of the group work as a team to pull the swing to its starting position.

3 G fun

Bravery has certainly increased as the week has progressed; with children who would only risk half way up the climbing wall on day one now releasing the starting pin for the swing a LONG way from the floor.

Adults and children alike have swung through the air. Filling the Ashford air with either shouting, screaming or even (Mr Burnes) yah-hooing.



Mr Burnes and Mrs Hynes loved it!
Miss Reid and Mrs Friend - not so much.



Lunch was devoured (cottage pie or jacket potatoes). I am always impressed by the healthy appetites inspired by all this fresh air and exercise. 

Other activities today have included, circus skills, orienteering and I-Venture (an ICT module where photos from this week are put together with music created on the programme Dance e-jay).  Both I-Venture and Mission Maker will be burnt onto disk at the end of the week and sent to school.

One group have undertaken the Leap of Faith, whilst others have that delight after breakfast tomorrow.

After a dinner of burgers or chicken and a welcome return of the jam doughnut, the three groups are completing their last activity of the day before the evening entertainment session- Scrapheap Challenge.

You will be pleased to hear that the group is still smiling if tired and a little hoarse.
