Year 4 day 2...
We all enjoyed our night walk on Tuesday evening and, because we were so quiet, were rewarded by seeing several deer in the field. Our bravery was tested as we ventured into the old air raid shelter which was very dark but thankfully free from bats!! We were all very tired as we headed off for our first night of sleep at the Gordon Brown Centre. It’s very exciting being all together in the dorms.
After a good first night’s sleep, we all enjoyed a tasty breakfast before beginning our morning activities. We went to the archery range and refined our arrow firing skills, building on what we learned last year. After that we completed the blindfold trail where we learned communication is very important, especially when your partner can’t see anything!!
At lunchtime, we met up with Year 3 who had just arrived for their Gordon Brown adventure. We all enjoyed our lunch of fish fingers and chips before a little bit of free time, playing some games and stroking the animals.
This afternoon our Bentley value of courage was really tested as we made our way up the very high climbing wall, finished off by a 10m drop from the top!! Don’t worry - we all had a harness and helmets on. Our teachers were very proud of us for doing it!
This evening we are looking forward to playing some games and watching a movie before settling down to another good night’s sleep. We certainly need it after all of today’s adventures!
