HUMPHREY HEAD ~ DAY 1

Class 4 arrived safely today at Humphrey Head at about 11:30am ~ all very excited and eager to get in and unpacked! After a warm welcome from the centre staff it was into dorms and bed making!! This brought with it the usual fun antics of watching all the children heading into duvet covers and the challenges that putting sheets on top bunks brings!!! After lots of team work and co-operation all the beds were made and children settled down to eat their packed lunches in the dining room.

The weather this afternoon has been sunny and fresh, and once everyone had got kitted out with outdoor clothing the children headed into the beautiful countryside for an afternoon of orienteering. Here our competitive sides came out, and Sam, the centre leader, said we were one of the quickest groups she'd ever had!

After our fantastic afternoon out in the sunshine we’ve got lots of rosy cheeks having tea this evening (can you spot them on the photograph?). Tea has been absolutely delicious!!! Everyone enjoyed lasagne with homemade garlic bread, salad and cheese, followed by yummy syrup pudding with custard and ice-cream for dessert ~ needless to say there were lots of clean plates and bowls!

This evening's activity was outside for a night walk, with head torches and warm clothes. We all had a great time before returning to the centre at approximately 8:00pm where it was into the showers before getting ready for bed and having some supper. The children were all settled down in their dormitories for a story at about 9:15pm. Fingers crossed for a good night’s sleep!

More news tomorrow ~ Night! x
