Mr Britten's group saw the first competitive action of the week. A parallel slalom competition. After gaining confidence racing each other, Oliver P, Ben, and Mr Britten challenged another school and ended the competition winning 3-0. Skier of the day for this group was awarded to Lois who skied with poise and purpose for the whole of the day.
Mr Martindale's group ventured higher up the mountain in search of excitement. They skied down many challenging slopes and even had time for a few jumps. Oliver B was awarded "skier of the day" for skiing safely with very few falls.
All the children returned safely to the hotel tired but injury free. Some notable spills included Harvey, who became so attached his button drag lift he refused to let go - until he hit the fence at the end of the lift! Harry I, who disappeared down a hole next to a drag lift and Cameron, who discovered the difficulty of skiing on brown snow - or soil as we call it back home!
Evening Meal - Carrot and corriander soup, sauasage, mash and green beans, chocolate mouse.
The evening was spent exploring the town. A quiz provided by the hotel was won by Mrs Major's team with a perfect score of 15, even though the quiz was out of 14! We demand a recount! Mrs |Venables team grabbed the wooden spoon was a gloriously awful 9/15. Must try harder!
