Tuesday Evening

Another action packed day at Bawdsey Manor. 

The children were woken at 7am and after a really well received breakfast, children went off to start their activities - today included:

raft building, challenge course, Trapeze, rifle shooting, and climbing.


The sun has been shiny brightly all day and your wonderful children have pushed themselves out of their comfort zones, challenging their fears and ‘having a go’.  They have also been really supportive of each other - encouraging and congratulating, laughing, joking and smiling all day!  

We have had lots of laughs, especially during raft building when children either fell, or deliberately jumped off their raft into the lake. One even capsized the group leader's rowing boat, bringing him into the water - a first apparently!


We all met for lunch - Vegan chilli, jacket potatoes and cheese and lots of choice from the salad bar and then again for dinner - pasta, Katsu chicken and chocolate brownies!


Tonight they have all been together for fun games and have (hopefully) worn themselves out before (torch) lights out and sleep. I'm writing this at just after 10pm and all is well - so far!


The children really are having a blast - no moans or upsets - everyone is eating, smiling and making memories that will last a lifetime! 


Another action packed day tomorrow - during which we will continue to take as many photos as possible, whilst battling against almost non existent wifi and 4g. Most of this blog only really begins after bedtime so please be patient with us!
