Borwick Hall Day 1

Borwick Hall-  Day 1

In the absence of reliable internet here out here in the country, we've been trying to send some updates via Facebook- thank you for the messages on Facebook. However, we now have a service of sorts and as flaky internet is better than no internet here goes. I hope it keeps going long enough to upload a few picture and thoughts on Day 1.

Night-time reflections

Today me, Thomas F, Natan and Thomas P bought loads of snacks for the midnight feast. We’ve found out who are instructors were (Graham and Phil) and they showed us around Borwick Hall’s grounds and inside.

Later,  Me, Thomas and Thomas found Christopher’s bed was ruined but all the others were neat- it was like paranormal activity.

Natan

[It wasn’t like paranormal activity- Ed.]

[And it wasn’t ruined.]

We played fun outdoor games which included teamwork and effort. There were three teams and we did a hunt and some other games. We learnt some new techniques to improve the quality of the teamwork.  Every team won some activities. Later, our room is going to have a competition to see who can eat the most sweets.

[Later, I’m going to have a competition to see which staff member clears up any sick- Ed.]

I got loads of pictures of not-just-kids doing the activities this afternoon.

Tea was really delicious. I had sausages and they were really tasty (I didn’t- Lexie). After tea, we went to the gift shop and bought loads of  stuff (pencils, rubbers and a funky little owl magnet with wibbly-wobbly legs and big toes). We didn’t buy any food because the others provided it! (Well, Lexie has some biscuits).

Thoughts on Day 2 later (if I can find a crank to wind up the router)...
