We were lucky to have the sun out this weekend as the year 7/8's headed to the River Yeo for some canoeing and kayaking whilst the younger children headed up to the Forest School woods for some bush crafting. Heading onto the water, we lasted about half an hour before the first boat went over with, guess who, the party animal Spanish boys! They good-heartedly got back into their boat (with a bit of encouragement from the other boats) and we continued up the river. Meanwhile back at school, the younger boarders put on their wellies and headed up to Forest School for some muddy fun! They collected what dry wood they could find to light a fire to heat up their 'billy' (Aussie terminology put into good use here) and put up pieces of tarp to make themselves a cover. Jaime even got the wonderful, if not messy, opportunity to gut a fish!
Quick note: some of you may (or may not) be wondering why there wasn't a blog posted about our Thursday night activity this week. Explanation: the boarders are putting together a little surprise that will be (fingers crossed) ready for you to see by the end of the term. So hold tight and all will be revealed. :)
Cold and a little wet!
