Stonham Aspal CEVA Primary School: Tuesday

An early wake-up this morning, after the excitement of last night's campfire, meant that it was a subdued and sleepy group that shuffled wearily over to the canteen for breakfast. Luckily, a big breakfast buffet of bacon, mushrooms, toast, yogurt, fruit, cereals and porridge lifted spirits and topped up energy levels ready for the first round of morning activities: rifle shooting, the infamous zip wire, and a new-look challenge course.

The peaceful stillness of the woods was soon shattered by the metallic sound of pellets on target in the rifle range - squirrels and birds disappeared into the undergrowth as the children racked up points. Oliver proved to be the best shot overall whilst Matthew recorded the highest individual score of the day so far. Elsewhere, it was Evan who impressed the most on the challenge course, getting stuck in to the action like a superhero!

After a quick break and a hand-over of instructors, it was on to the next activities. The PGL staff have already been very complimentary of the children: their listening and attention, good behaviour, teamwork, mutual encouragement and willingness to get involved. At the moment, the weather is good, a little overcast but dry and not too cold, and the mood in the camp is very good. Following last night's blog post, Mrs Waldron asked for a correction to be made - yesterday's pie was steak and mushroom not steak and ale...

Here are a selection of photos from the morning so far - more to follow later, of course. But first, our best effort from the campfire last night... we are not expecting to win any photographic prizes with this one!
