Are We Nearly There Yet?!

There was great excitement as we gathered in the hall this morning, ready for our big adventure.  Onto the coach for a traffic (and sick) free journey down to Portsmouth.  The children were excellent throughout and were very patient whilst they waited for the ferry to arrive.  Up on board and straight out onto the deck for their long awaited packed lunch.  We had a little bit of a swell and it was quite breezy but the children had a great time. 

Before we knew it we were back on the coach for the short journey to the Kingswood Centre.  The sun was out in full force when we arrived and we were greeted by an equally sunny group leader who gave the children a tour of the site.  

Room keys were given out and the children seemed to be delighted with the people they were going to be sharing with.  They weren't so enthusiastic about making their beds but (I think) they are all done now.  

Off to our first activities - two groups trying to make fires (see separate slide show) and the other two to 'Team Tech'.

Finally, we all met together for a much awaited dinner - pasta with bolognese or tomato sauce, garlic bread, sweetcorn, salad and ice cream!

       

Before the children could catch their breath they headed off for a hike to Culver Point.
