Blue skies, canoes and oreo doughnuts! Today was our first full day of activities here in Norfolk and it got off to a fantastic start - breakfast! We were treated to a full cooked breakfast as well as choices of fruit, cereal, yoghurt and toast. The sun continued to shine as we headed out to our activities: canoeing, fencing, low ropes, survival skills, volleyball and bouldering were all on the schedule today. Lunch was filled with talk of the day and sharing with other groups what each other had been up too. Then... it was tuck shop time! Thanks to our wonderful PA the children have been provided with a tuck shop each day of our residential, it is a real highlight of the day and extra tuck is always awarded to the tidiest rooms! 

As the day drew to a close we headed into another fantastic dinner with another well-recieved surprise of oreo doughnuts for dessert. Our final activity of the day was a campfire for the whole of Year 6 (you know how much we like to sing a song or two!) and our tidy bedrooms await us for a much needed rest tonight, ready for another full day of fun tomorrow!

Birthdays, special visitors and film night! Our final full day in Norfolk and we were up bright and early for another delicious breakfast (how many hash browns are too many?) Activities for the day included volleyball, aeroball, caving, bouldering, rock climbing, giant canoe, paddle boarding, obstacle course and survival skills. Caving has definitely been a highlight for all with a surprise deep inside the cave for us to find! Giant conoe saw us working together to explore the lake and its islands, whilst the children built their own shelters during survival skills. 

Jayden celebrated his birthday in true Norfolk style with double wet activities and we all got together to sing him a big happy birthday before he shared out his birthday cake and opened his cards from home. Free time has been spent playing football in the field outside our apartment block, colouring, drawing and lots of games of Uno! 

There was a special visitor from home at dinner time - Mrs Waterfield made the trip to Norfolk to spend the evening with us and we enjoyed dinner before settling down for the evening to eat the last of our tuck (thanks again to the PA!) and watch a film. It has been a fantastic week, and the children's behaviour has been exemplary, a final few activities tomorrow morning and we will be back on the coach home! See you all soon!
