MORE... 12 year old, 13 year old and 14 year old boys and girls from Hardenhuish School, Hardenhuish Lane, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN14 6RJ

17/7/2014

 
45 boys and girls (well teenagers) looking for adventure.  

Hiking in the sunshine.  Learning about hydration and nutrition - and therefore survival.  

Jumping in, splashing about and wild swimming in the river.  Kids being kids.  Teenagers being teenagers.  

Nerf battles - Team death match.  Capture the flag.  Den building.  Man-hunt.  Water fights.  

One of the hottest days of the year so no fire-lighting.

Anticipating tiredness for all, but perhaps less so for the fitter ones!  Lesson:  exercise is good for you, it keeps you healthy and alive - and it's fun.  

We had the pleasure of meeting many cool guys (both male and female) over the last two days and the greatest ones were those that parked their inhibitions and got stuck in to all the activities.  Okay that means 100% i.e. 89 children / teenagers.

One life - so live it!!!  Please don't just retreat back into the gaming world.

A flying visit to Woodland Adventurers including a recap on the last visit and consolidated learning as well as some fun outdoor activities including hide and seek tag, feeding the farm animals (elephants in disguise and tickle monsters!), learning about trees and seed distribution, learning about Brunel, trees and tree roots.  We built dens - children verses grown-ups (mainly governors, including ex-armed forces!).  We learnt from the governors but of course the children succeeded in winning the challenge!  And finally we toasted marshmallows on the camp fire.  A whirlwind of activities.
