Day one at Beaudesert!

We've had a fantastic first day so far! The children have taken on the via ferratta and have played frisbee golf! Tomorrow's packed with activities, but it's nearly time for hot choc and marshmallows!

We love Beaudesert!

We've had a fantastic first afternoon here at Beaudesert - the final group are on the via ferratta now - what an amazing activity! We've seen some real bravery on there! It's a beautiful sunny evening here - luckily the weather's set to be great for the next two days too!!

Ps - hopefully some photos to follow soon!

Lydia's 100wc - week 38:

In the Caribbean, where the sea shimmers in the balmy, blazing sun: sat on a rock was a mermaid with vividly-coloured hair cascading down her radiant, enchanting face. Her silk, flowing hair covered her teal eyes.

One day she sat upon her rock watching the fishes come and go.When the sun rose from behind island Slogam, it burnt her hands to a scarlet tan.She swished around the ocean until she met an elderly fish.

“Where are all the other creatures?” Asked the mermaid curiously,

“They are hiding” Explained the fish,

“Why?” Asked the mermaid,

“But it is far too hot to be out!” Answered the fish.

And the mermaid swam under the sea for the rest of the day.

Lily A's 100wc - week 38:

H: Humming birds hovering over the clear, blue water,

O: Open space to run around to feel free once more,

L: Love is found here as the sun sets,

I: Imagination is let free to do anything it wants,

D: Daisy chains everywhere, along with lilies, roses and pansies,

A: All the children running, jumping, and playing together,

Y: You know, I know, everyone knows, holidays are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

I love holidays – magnificent and amazing, jaw dropping and inspiring, holidays rule with their impressing features. When our family get bored we just pop on a flight to Spain, America or Egypt!

That’s why I LOVE holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lily B's 100wc - week 38:

Dear diary, 
I just got home from the WORST holiday of my life! When we arrived at Hawaii I was amazed at the sight of our fantabulous hotel! There was a pool the size of my whole street and the most luxurious beach with pale, golden sand and a crystal clear blue ocean! We quickly unpacked and I dived straight into the pool. Then, I wanted to go instantly sunbathing at the beach, but it was far too hot. I decided that I’d rather go on the balcony and listen to my iPod, but it was far too hot. I went to the town by the hotel then, and I saw the loveliest restaurant but the only spare seat was right in the sun, and that was far too hot. So basically I spent the whole time in the pool, which I know sounds really fun, but the nearby old people's home came every hour to do their hourly exercises! That was horrible! So therefore, next summer we're just going to a caravan in Wales.  

Sienna's 100wc - week 38:

I woke under the blood red sun feeling dazed, but then thoughts of the mirthless shadow cascading eerily among blackened stone flooded back so I ascended, tottering uncertainly. WHAM! A gash materialised onto my ankle and I was thrown backwards; landing with a deafening crunch on a dusty ball. Two figures, fluid as smoke, unfurled themselves from the shattered remains.I tried to grab it, but it was far too hot: a blinding blue light shot from the glittering ball blinding me.

Our classroom tsunami!

We've been learning about tsunamis today, so did this experiment in class - sadly, not all of the legomen made it!

Extreme Reading in a tree!

Another great extreme reading picture!

Extreme Reading by the sea!

Another amazing set of extreme reading photos, this time from down in Cornwall - brilliant! She even seems to have mastered reading the book upside down in some of the photos - now that's extreme reading! :-)
