Little Canada day 3




Another busy day here, and some lovely weather for us to enjoy. Just as well really as the activities have all involved getting wet!


Today 4 of the 6 groups have been playing games in the pool and this afternoon all the children took part in dragon boat racing on the river. The white helmets won, however yellow helmets wanted a steward's inquiry amid allegations that they were deliberately rammed so couldn't win.


Mr Howard joined us this morning, bringing news from school and much needed milk for teacher's tea, taking over from Mr Hinton who left us to attend a course.


Another highlight of the day for some groups was the sensory trail which involves tackling a variety of obstacles whille playing follow my leader and being blindfolded. After last night's heavy rain the course was particularly muddy but this actually seemed to add to the enjoyment of some of the children!


The day ended with a campfire in the grounds and a range of songs and stories from some of the centre staff- much enjoyed by all, although there were a cuple of complaints that all campfires should involve marshmallows and we forgot to provide them for this one...


All children are now in their bunks, in various stages of settling down and we are all looking forward to our last full day of activities tomorrow.
