Quote of the Day -

When asked to army crawl on her stomach through the mud, Michaela replied, ''I'm crawling and using my arms, does that count?'

Day Two

 What a busy and fun day at Little Canada! The children were all asleep by half 12 last night and up early for breakfast this morning. There was a lot to choose from at breakfast: bacon, hash browns, spaghetti hoops, toast, vegetarian sausages, cereal or porridge. All of the children ate a good breakfast to prepare them for their busy day.

This morning all of the children had a go at the sensory trail. They led each other, blindfolded, around the muddy obstacle course- lots of them were extremely muddy by the end of the trail and have already filled their bin bags with washing! They have all also had a go at fencing today and enjoyed learning a new skill and wearing the fencing equipment. Some of the groups have been on the giant swing - they all loved it and surprised themselves by how high they went! Other children had a go at Jacob's ladder; they worked together to help each other climb up to the next step and some children even reached the top!  They have had a go at aeroball and enjoyed competing against each other to score points. Some of the children also had a go at a new activity called vertical challenge - an obstacle course on high ropes. They raced to the top of the challenge course and climbed really confidently! We've been impressed with all of the children's perseverance on the activities. 

For lunch today there was a choice of: jacket potato with cheese, beans or tuna. There was also a beef madras with rice and naan bread. We have just had dinner, today the children chose from: meatballs and pasta in tomato sauce, creamy vegetable kiev or cottage pie with vegetables.

The children are currently playing a game called 'ambush' and running and hiding around Little Canada. After their activity, they'll have chance to eat the sweets they bought in the shop earlier today.

Tomorrow is another busy day, all of the groups will be canoeing tomorrow so hopefully they will be asleep a bit earlier tonight!
