The morning began with some very welcome sunshine to encourage the sleepy from their beds. Another cooked breakfast gave us the energy required for the day, along with a fairly large quantities of Haribo from the shop
Another highlight of the day has been abseiling. Many have overcome fears and, even more importantly, encouraged their friends to do the same. It is a real pleasure to watch your children cheer others on with kind words and see them rush to help others to undo equipment and harnesses. They are a credit to the school and to you.
The instructors always ask them to consider their own aims and then reflect on the scary and exciting things they have done. I was most impressed to hear one child, even whilst here at Kingswood, still trying to improve their vocabulary choices. It was not just scary BUT terrifying and petrifying. I was told that these ambitious words were sought out specifically to impress me and earn "extra points".
Tonight, after dinner, we have pool party and a campfire before bed. I'm guessing those snores will be heard even earlier tonight.
