They think it's all over.... it is now!

We all made breakfast again today, with Mrs Hynes joining us a little later, and prepared for our last morning.

Go Mrs Friend!

Beds had to be stripped, packing had to be finished and rooms vacated by 9:00.  Some of our more organised pupils were all done before breakfast but others needed longer....much longer!  Packing was interesting to behold with many of the group having little idea of the concept of folding.

Groups 20 and 21 had the very exciting opportunity to partake in the Leap of Faith.  Everyone gave it a really good go and many made it all the way to the top and off! I am so impressed with the courage of our pupils who seem fearless in comparison to a very wobbly kneed Mr Burnes and myself.

What a sense of achievement though, when fears are overcome.

Group 19 had Indoor Initiatives followed by everyone completing their I-Venture presentation.  The Centre were organised  enough to have burnt all games and presentations onto a disc for us before we left, so I will try to organise copies in the next couple of weeks.

Our last trip to the dining hall entailed chicken or veggie burger and chips in a box, which just left us time to buy our last few bits in the shop and sing some of our newly learnt chants and songs before boarding the coach and saying goodbye to Vikki, our group leader.

Everyone was by now extremely tired and ready to return home.  Conversation turned to who had missed their brothers or sisters and what they planned to do when they got home.  I have a feeling that many of these planned activities will have to wait until tomorrow, after a very long sleep.

Driving towards school and seeing all the waving relatives was a welcome and emotional sight.

I can honestly say that all of the adults who went along had a fantastic time with your children and you should all be very proud of their behaviour, daring and enthusiasm.

Have a restful weekend and we will see you all on Monday!

From Mrs Friend, Miss Reid, Mrs Hynes and Mr Burnes.
