Day 2 - Raft Building for the morning!

We are all refreshed after sleeping well in our cosy rooms! For breakfast today we have had sausages and beans, toast and cereal in some combination. It was interesting to observe the sandwich making in preparation for lunch and the different combination of fillings being added!
Just about to go and get our instructions for the day and we will be back on here later with some photos hopefully!


It has been a really bonny day here with sunshine and plenty of enthusiastic activity!
We got together to plan our rafts and had to hunt for all the pieces to make models first  good for map reading skills. The group was split into two teams and showed good skills of working together to come up with a plan.Spot the concentration involved.....


Thoughts on the day so far.....

Quote from Jamie
"It has been a real blast, Everyone has enjoyed there time and some of us are guaranteed bruises. Looking forward to the week ahead."

Quote from Leeon
"It has been such a good day we first went raft building and it was really fun and then we went to the dry scope skiing and it was awesome and I fell of but I got straight back up and we had to go down the hill really fast and try to stop."

Here are some photos of the raft building process from planning to building and getting on the water.



Here is how they ended up with a good bit of working together and problem solving!




Working out on the raft!
How will we sit?

Almost there! And into the water........


 Ready,steady,go...........
 Out on the water....

 Ready, steady row!
 And we are racing!

 No capsized rafts!
 Playing the find the treasure game.
 Here are the wettest bairns! Soaked right through.........
