Luckily,
the school's resilience sessions this year allowed us to BOUNCE back from
England's deplorable performance on the football field last night and breakfast
was tackled with the usual gusto. Once tables were cleared and cleaned, all
four groups continued around the carousel of activities, adding community
service to yesterday's list.
A multitude of superb painted T-shirts have been created and one of the local bridle paths has been cleared of the rampant broom bushes that were threatening to overwhelm it.
Everyone has enjoyed the horse trekking and archery. The mountain biking has been a challenge in the hot weather, but all completed the course in style.
Today's
three course lunch concluded with ice cream, which went a long way towards
overcoming the fatigue of a busy morning. With unsettled weather forecast for
the afternoon, we kept a close eye on the clouds building over the peaks. The
groups raced the storm clouds back to the Centre, and most arriving before the
heavens opened. The indomitable Miss Laattoe and three excited girls got caught
in the rain and returned bedraggled but jubilant about their outdoor adventure
on horseback.
