Sayers Croft - Day 1


The adventurers set off!

We're here!  The journey was pretty uneventful and we almost made it the entire way without anyone throwing up!

The adventurers arrive!
When we first got here we got all our luggage, went to reception and got our keys for our dormitory, which is Bramley.  It is the best, most luxurious one here!  We made our beds, then got our luggage and unpacked.  We had a practice fire drill and it made us all jump out of our skin because it was so loud.

Then we had lunch.  Elise said it was the best 'school' dinner she has ever had!  The clean plates certainly seemed to back that comment up!



After lunch we started our first activity, which was orienteering.  We started in the 'triangle' between Peaslake and Friday Street.  It was fun because we got to explore Sayers Croft by ourselves.  Oliver and Chris were the clear winners of this activity, completely both challenges in no time at all.


Ready to start orienteering.
Next was shelter building.  We were supposed to make our shelter bear-proof, water-proof and wind-proof. 

We all got drenched on the water test and Lucy O got eaten by a 'bear'!

Lucy before the bear attack!

Oliver was the 'toad-catcher' for this activity as there were a lot of toads in the area. 


Luckily everyone was wearing 'Bob the Builder' helmets as the shelters were also not wind-proof!


Before dinner we all went to the field and had a game of football or played on the adventure playground.  Another team joined us and although they cheated, we still beat them 4-1!

We have just come back from our night walk where we made friends with some trees and got to see what it was like to be a mouse. 

We also went into the round house and found out what life would have been like inside the first proper houses ever built.

In the morning we are building ballistas, we can't wait!

Lots of love,
Moore Class

    Sounds like you're all having a wonderful time. The shelter looks fabulous - very solid indeed (although the hard hats are probably a good idea!). Could see your shoes poking out Bella. Hope today is just as brilliant.
    Missing you loads,
