Kilvrough Day 3

Day 3:
After delicious croissants for breakfast, we split into our two activity groups and headed off.
Groups A&B drove to the canal where we enjoyed a day of canoeing. It wasn't long (less than 5 minutes!!) before child no 1 fell in (mentioning no names Amelia) but soon we were all safely on board our canoes and in pairs. We managed to work out which way to point the paddle 😉 After a short practice we headed off down the canal, navigating various low hanging branches and soon all got the hang of it. The more daring of us even attempted a SMALL waterfall. Communication skills were definitely improved throughout the day (otherwise we literally went round in circles)

Groups C&D drove to the beach and learnt how to equip themselves for rock climbing. We scrambled over rocks to find a suitable climbing point then set up 3 ropes and worked in small teams to climb around 50 feet! We ate our lunch overlooking the rising tide (mesmerising). A hungry raven even ate one child's sandwiches whilst he was busy rock scrambling! They completed the day by being soaked by large waves crashing onto nearby rocks and all needed a good hosing down once back.

Parents - you will be pleased to hear that they are all becoming a lot more responsible for their belongings...some have even dried their towels today!

It's pasta night tonight 😊
