"I have loved the whole day, best day ever!!" - India
Day 1 has been a hit! We
started off our journey with singing, I-Spy, then more singing. Our journey
culminated in a very exciting stop at the services. After a few hours
we arrived in sunny Oxford. We boarded the Serafina
2nd, where we meet Peter and Mark. The children asked many questions and
discovered a lot about pirates, Robin Hood and boats. And we did some more
singing!!!
"My favourite part was when
the boat was turning on the Thames and it looked like we were going to
crash... but we didn't!!" - George.
"The cruise was my favourite part of the day" - Merlin.
We had lunch onboard and
continued our cruise in the sunshine. At about 1pm, we said goodbye to
Mark and Peter, and travelled to Stansfeld.
After a big task of making
our own beds, we munched on some sandwiches and were told that if we
didn't want to eat vegetables we didn't have to. Although all of us did!
"The best part of the day was
the orienteering because we got to go off on our own and explore the
woods and I learnt how to use a map" - Kian, Bethy and Millie
We then went into woods and
gave orienteering a go. We definitely have some budding adventurers in
Moore Class!! We navigated, explored and searched high and low looking
for clues.
Dinner was a key part of the day and we enjoyed chicken, fish and some vegetables with a hot sponge and custard for dinner!!!
After, we had the much
antiicpated 'Moore Class Has Got Talent'. We had singers, dancers,
comedians, speed stackers and a mixture of all the above. Photos will
follow.... who knew we had the next Taylor Swift and Olly
Murs with us in Oxford.
Then after some hot chocolate
and cookies, we played outside in our pjs!! Miss Dale showed off her
excellent javelin skills and Mrs Humberstone is a whizz at running.
Mrs Pape met the the paparazzi on the slide.
"The hot chocolate was delicious and the talent show was fabulous" Beau, Ellie and Tilly.
Now our explorers are tucked up in bed (although very much awake), ready for an exciting day tomorrow....
