Friday 4th May The final day of our adventure. We all had a very busy morning first thing as we had to make sure that everything was packed in our suitcases and our rooms were clear. Nearly everyone managed to pack everything and get their sleeping bags sorted but some needed a little help!! After another hearty breakfast we went off to do our first activity. Group 1 had Matrix (or Quad bike cleaning as it is known here!), group 2 had quad biking and group 3 had survivor. Again everyone was brilliant in facing their fears and working as a team. We then had to go straight into our next activity. Group 1 were doing low ropes, group 2 did the Matrix/quad bike cleaning and group 3 did quad biking. All did fantastically well with everything. I would like to say a big thank you to Badger Class as they have been superb this week on our trip away together and we have all had an amazing time here at Little Canada. Thanks again Miss Chainey.

Little Canada - Thursday 3rd May

Thursday 3rd May. Our adventure continues... Everybody slept really well last night and most of the children didn't wake up until at least half past 6 this morning! We got ready and went for another hearty breakfast to set us up for the day. Group 1 then had aeroball, group 2 had inside climbing and group 3 had low ropes. As always everyone did fatastically well overcoming their fears and giving everything 100% effort. After that, group 1 did inside climbing, group 2 did low ropes and group 3 did archery. We all had great fun and showed lots of good team work and being brilliantly supportive towards their friends who were not so confident. After a delicious lunch of pizza and chips (much appreciated by the children), we went for our afternoon activities. Group 1 did quad biking, group 2 did archery and group 3 did aeroball. We have definately got some future Sterling Mosses and William Tells in our class! After a short break, group 1 finished the day with archery, group 2 with tunnel trail and group 3 had inside climbing. We then had our dinner and got ready for our big night out at the disco. Everyone has had another superb day (even if we are all getting very tired!) and we are looking forward to our final activities tomorrow. Well done Badgers!! Miss Chainey

Most of the children went up for seconds (and thirds). Our evening activitiy tonight has been Wacky Races. Everyone had great fun and did lots of really silly fun races. Off to bed now as we are all very tired! A brilliant day had by all. Miss Chainey

Little Canada..In the Afternoon!

Wednesday 2nd May afetrnoon Day 2 of our adventure continued... After refuelling at lunch time we had our afternoon activities. Group 1 and 2 did fencing and group 3 did Matrix. We had some brilliant duels during our fencing session and some super problem solvers during the Matrix. Group 1 and 2 then did Survivor and group 3 did tunnel trail. A great time was had by all during survivor, making shelters from wood, string and a piece of plastic sheet and making mini fires. Everyone got VERY muddy and looked great with their'natural' camoflage!! Group 3 did really well playing all the games in the dark for tunnel trail. A great day so far. Miss Chainey

We had our breakfast at 8am and then went back to the house to get ready for our activities. Groups 1 and 2 had abseiling and group 3 had fencing. Everyone did brilliantly with facing their fears and all got stuck in. Group 1 then had tunnel trail, group 2 had aeroball and group 3 had abseiling.

Little Canada - Day 1!

Tuesday 1st May Our Adventure begins! We had a really good ferry crossing today and arrived on the Isle of Wight to fantastic sunshine. The children were all very excited to be on their trip to Little Canada and we had a lot of 'Are we nearly there yet Miss Chainey?'. When we did arrive at Little Canada, we met our groupie Laura and she took us over to the house to drop off all of our bags. The children then went on a tour with Jamie, whilst the teachers had a chat with Laura. The children ate well for dinner and filled up on lots of salad and fruit! In the evening we had our first activity 'Robot Wars'. It was brilliant fun and the children had a great time. They had to do lots of different activities to earn points towards equipment for turning two of their team in to robots for the Robot Wars at the end. The robots were blindfolded and had to be guided by their teams to pick up glasses of water to throw at their opponent. Some of which got thrown straight at me!! We all then went back to the house to get ready for bed. A superb first day. Miss Chainey
