Tonight we collected wood for the bonfire and played games in the forest. Afterwards we spent time round the bonfire singing and generally mucking about.

This afternoon Group One did Archery and Tree Trekking. Group Two did Canoeing and then Archery. LG and MK managed to capsize Mr Childs!
All children slept well: all asleep before midnight which is unusual for the first night!! After breakfast and games we split into two groups. Group One went canoeing. It was great fun! We got very wet! Most of us jumped in afterwards. Group Two did some Tree Trekking, on high ropes and platforms. It was awesome! We played Manhunt in the woods and collected wood and had a bonfire! After lunch (which was delicious) we did some orienteering and played some team building games. Lots of teamwork, working together and cooperating! It's now tea time and later time for games and a bonfire!
