Tonight’s prize winners, as nominated and chosen by the instructors at Adventure Bude, included the golden ticket ( randomly chosen), the bottle award ( for those who had overcome fear or grown in confidence), the joker award ( for those who entertained us this week), and the superstar award ( for all round superstars). A huge congratulations also to group D who won the team of the week. We are proud of all our children who have shown great friendship and endurance this week, and have achieved so much!

We woke to dramatic skies and set off on our final run / swim. Those who chose to run, were treated to a jog across the beach whilst the sea pool offered a peaceful dip to start the day.

Others were more cautious, but everyone had a go. Endurance was the theme of the day from Donna’s reflection last night and this was tested yet again as we pushed, pulled and heaved our wetsuits on.

Another action-packed day in Bude!

After a thought-provoking reflection with Donna last [...]

First day of activities and we were treated to glorious sunshine and mostly blue skies. We started the day with a refreshing run, followed by a hearty cooked breakfast. The groups headed out to their activities with gusto and perhaps a spot of trepidation. Fears were soon overcome as the children threw themselves into surfing, high ropes and climbing. We were thrilled to see the children supporting each other by cheering on their teams when knees looked a bit wobbly on the high ropes.  The waves crashed in on the surfers and some even managed to stand up on their boards.

Year 6 are very excited to be going to Bude next week. Please check the kit list carefully, send in any agreed medication, ensure all items are labelled and your child knows where everything is packed. Not long now! 😃
