Just letting you all know we all had a peaceful night and we are all okay. We are getting ready for the day and will have breakfast at 8am. Some of the children are up, dressed and already playing the piano.
We will update the blog at the end of the day.

Today we worked on our listening skills and ensuring we had our clothes ready for the day as we knew we were having a wet morning. We got kitted out in wetsuits and waterproofs and spent the morning kayaking on the lake. We played games and had races and even climbed out on the jetty. We then spent a lot of time jumping in the lake.
After lunch we did some orienteering then more climbing. Today we all climbed on the high ropes to the top of the pole. We have had a fantastic day.
Hallie: My happiest time was jumping off the jetty, I am really proud of Joseph for getting in the lake, I learnt how to kayak, I am proud of myself for not panicking when I fell in the lake out of my kayak.
Avie: My happiest time was climbing the pole, I am proud of Joseph for standing on the platform, I learnt not to be scared of heights, I am proud of myself for jumping off the jetty.
Lexi: My happiest time was jumping off the jetty, I am proud of Mrs Bland for climbing to the top of the pole because she doesn’t like heights, I learnt to jump off the jetty, I am proud of myself for standing on top of the pole and waiting for Joseph to climb up to me.
Joseph: My happiest time was climbing the pole, I am proud of everyone for getting to the top, I learnt to not give up and to keep trying until I succeed, I am proud of myself for standing on the pole.
Mickey: My happiest time was speeding off in the kayak, I am proud of everyone getting to the top, I learnt how to kayak and that I am quite good at it, I am proud of myself for being on the water because I don’t like fish.
Amelia: My happiest time was holding hands and leaning forward, I am proud of Avie for being the first up the pole, I learnt to kayak and I am proud of myself for jumping off the jetty.

Our first full day at Water Park has been busy and very memorable. We started the day sailing on the darts. Some of the children also had the chance at driving the speed boat. It was perfect weather for sailing! We then came back to the house for a shower and lunch. We spent the afternoon on the low and high ropes. The children were incredible and really pushed themselves out of their comfort zones. They have shown great team work and have been encouraging each other throughout the day.

Today the sun was shining, so we got the fun sail boats out, did Low ropes, took a mini bus to the cafe and skimmed stones. In the sail boats we played a game and it was the first to get to the balls, Ozzie & O’C won and got all 3. We stopped at the side of the lake to have lunch, we split up into groups some did a bit of hiking while listening to music whilst others sailed on their own, then we swapped over. We all got back on our boats and sailed 5 miles back with our partners to Water Parks, we got back safely with rosey cheeks. We all had a great day!
Evening
We played a treasure hunt picture game followed by two games of camouflage. We then had hot chocolate and biscuits. We have all gone upstairs to bed exhausted from the day but excited for tomorrow.
Stars of the Day
Every single child has worked hard and persevered with their own individual challenges.
Coniston: Hallie for falling in the water pulling herself out and never complaining or panicking, just being such an inspiration to us all.
Wetherlam: Jacob for mastering sailing and then facing his fears on the high ropes. A huge shout out to his team for being great cheerleaders and encouraging him to keep going.
Swirl Howe: William for persevering with sailing when he found it tricky, so much so he sailed solo back to the bay!
