Day 2 started wet but ended fine! The feared forecast brought wind and driving rain this morning and threatened to derail the day. But fortunately the breeze seemed to move things along and away... A host of activities including orienteering, water rockets, climbing and archery filled the day and with it, demonstrated quite how amazing these children are. Under the expert and enthusiastic tutelage of the wonderful @tilebarnoutdoor staff, we witnessed great feats of bravery and resilience. At school we focus on our ACTIVE learning behaviours but today we saw these in true action. Ambition to reach the top; Curiosity to seek hidden signs; Teamwork in abundance as they supported each other when scaling great heights; Independence when 'alone' half way up a huge climbing tower; Voice being heard in words of encouragement and advice; Engagement in every challenge! Wow! For a day that had looked likely to be dampened by the weather, the children excelled. The sun set on the day with pulled pork, chicken fajitas then free time and even a film to shelter from the rain that neatly bookended the day. What a lucky group we all are! (Now go to sleep!!!!)
