The sun is still shining, but we all managed to get a little we this afternoon! We went to build shelters and worked in teams and collected sticks to make our shelter. The shelter was really fun to build as we had to work together to find sticks that would fit on the outline of our shelter. The shelters were the tested for two things. We had a bear attack to test how sturdy the shelter was and then a huge rain cloud to test how waterproof they were. We then got scored on our shelters and had to include a door that was big enough for us to get in!
Unfortunately, due to the very hot summer, there wasn’t enough water in the stream for a stream walk, and so we did a brand new activity which was quite a challenge! We were given a map of Sayers Croft which had 4-figure grid references and were then given a reference to go to with a question to answer and, if we read the map correctly(!), the answer was there! It was a lot of fun working together and running around the whole of Sayers Croft!
We’re all currently enjoying a swim in the pool and shower to warm up! After dinner we’ve got one final visit to the tuck shop before we go to the highlight of the week: the pyjama disco! We can’t wait to dance together on our last night at Sayers Croft!
What an amazing afternoon! Interested to hear if the shelters withstood the bear attack 😊 Have fun at the disco and a safe journey home tomorrow! Big thank you to the teachers for organising this wonderful trip! What lovely memories for the children and thank you for the photo updates! ❤️
This day was really fun. I loved building shelters with wood
The shelter building was so fun.It was one of my favourite activities.After lunch we headed to the woods where we moved branches to build our shelter.We then had to go into the shelter while Gale poured water over it.Luckily our great shelters prevented us from getting to wet.This was a really fun activity!
I had an amazing time building the shelters and doing orienteering with my friends .The weather was great not like Tuesday it was drenching!Thank everybody .
I really enjoyed the shelter building! It was so fun and getting all the sticks and working together to build our shelter was amazing! We went into the woods all together then we were split into teams and then we set off. When our shelter was being tested we didn’t get too wet but I am afraid to say that the bear got inside …
