After the fun of the pyjama disco last night, we were all quite sleepy when the teachers woke us up this morning! But we had a lot to do and had to packed up and tidy our dorms before our first activity. This took us longer than usual as it was pouring with rain again. After sorting everything out so we were ready for another soggy activity, it actually stopped raining!
We went down to the ponds to do some pond dipping. It was lots of fun to find out what insects and fish live in the pond. We found a small stickle back fish and learnt than the males have a red stripe whereas the females are smaller. We collected a lot of pond skaters. We learnt that they can live out the water as well and some jumped out our trays! We found a lot of water scorpions. We spotted the two pincers at the front and the tail, but it’s a bit different to a usual scorpion!
Now that we know the area well, we did a final challenging orientation activity around the site before lunch.
We enjoyed our final Sayers Croft lunch and have all agreed that we’re going to miss the food here!
And now we’re heading to the coach to come back to London. We’ve had a great week and made lots of fun memories, but we’re looking forward to seeing everyone back in Marylebone! See you soon!
Hello everyone, your week seems to have been so exciting until the last minute, lucky you! Have a safe way back.
