Caving
"Does this tunnel go on until lunchtime?"
Before activity: "I'm too scared, I can't do it." After activity: "I want to be a caver as a job."
Body boarding
"My brain is wet."
Before activity: "This wetsuit is too tight, it hurts." After activity: "My wetsuit is too loose, it's rubbing."
Abseiling and Climbing
Indicating pathway down to beach: "Nature is risky!"
While climbing on rock pools to get to the cliff: "These rocks are dangerous." While hanging from the cliff face: "This is the best thing I've ever done."
Evening Walk
I thought I over heard one girl say to her friend "I miss my home." When I checked on her she informed me she had said "I miss my phone."
Every group has now undertaken all the main activities. Whether their challenge was to be away from home overnight for the first time or to catch a bigger wave, EVERYONE has achieved. Their development has been amazing; many have new skills in independence as well. Tomorrow we will end with a morning coastal walk. The weather is likely to be drizzly but with their developed positive approaches everyone is looking forward to seeing this side of Wales. We will see you all tomorrow evening back at school. 7pm is the current ETA. We will update you, here on the blog, if this changes.
