Day Four!

Day four at Plas has been exciting as it has been our last full day of activities. We started the day by completing our jobs and preparing for breakfast. Once we had done this, we had some free time.

Breakfast was cereal and then hash browns, beans and toast. We then tidied away…

Day Three!

Day Three started well with breakfast. We had a variety of cereal and then a cooked breakfast consisting of hash browns, beans and toast.

Miss Tudor’s group spent the day on a mountain hike. We walked up Crimpiou and made it to the top which was a 470m ascend! We ate our lunch…

It was an early start here in Plas as some of us were up at 6:45 dressed and ready for the day ahead! We tidied our rooms, got ready and went down for breakfast which was cereal, followed by toast, hash browns and beans.

Once we had finished tidying, we met with our group leaders…

Our penultimate day...

Thursday was another fantastic day at Edgmond Hall and in the morning children rotated again and did the activity/ animal feeding they had not yet done that week. (See previous blogs) 

After lunch, we made memory rockets where children reflected on the activities they…

Wednesday was another successful day at Edgmond Hall, and we were very lucky to avoid most of the storm, only having a sprinkling of rain! 

After a sleepy start (boys seem to be far better at getting up and ready in the morning than some of the girls), we had breakfast which was cereal,…

Last night was our first night at Edgmond Hall, and it is safe to say, once all was asleep, children slept like babies. We were up at 7.30am, a lie I for some, and once we had brushed our teeth, got dressed and made our beds, we headed down stairs to statt rewards for best beds, set up the tables…
