We have arrived safely and settled in at the centre. We are the only school here at the moment and the children are enjoying the freedom of the tennis court. Lunch was ready and waiting for us and the children were given an introduction to recycling. Cranedale is an eco-centre and the children are encouraged to be "Green" during their stay. Those of us who chose not to shower this week may be a different colour.
The afternoon has been spent team building with a variety of challenges - physical and mental. Communication is the key to success. Helpful tips given included :- "Keep looking ahead", "Grab the rope", "Pass it gently", "Pull your trousers up Oliver!" Best/most bizarre piece of advice came from Elise who urged her group to "Tree the hug!"
I'm sure by the end of the week we will all become hug treers or even tree huggers!
Everyone has worked very well together and will be sitting down for dinner at 6.00pm. There is a lesson at 7.00pm before hot chocolate and bed at 9.30pm. We are going to the beach tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for nice weather.
