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.
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.
