Just a few pics of our first day. We arrived safely at St. Michael's Environmental Education Centre and were warmly greeted by the staff, who led the children through a few introductory activities. After we filled our water and put on our suncream, we walked over to Brookfield Manor and split into two groups - the children either took part in orienteering or making little rafts for rubber ducks! After a little paddle in the stream, we headed back to St. Michael's for a bit of down time, unpacking and trying to put the duvet covers on.... its a good job Mrs J didn't mind doing so many of them.
For dinner, the staff prepared a delicious meal of jacket potatoes, burgers, and chicken legs, along with salad, followed by fruit salad and ice cream for dessert!
We walked to a local park where we had fun to relax for the evening, before heading back to make our sandwiches and finish the day off with hot chocolate and biscuits.
