Melissa's Liddington Diary

Day 1:

We arrived at Liddington just in time for lunch. We were excited to find out who we were sharing a room with. We enjoyed a lovely picnic. Then we had our activities, first up we played aeroball.  It was so much fun but it was a hard working game and we were all worn by the end. Next we headed of for rock climbing. Some of the group were scared to begin with but they soon overcame their fears and reached the top of the tower. There was lots of laughter and competition between the children. By dinner, we were starving and ready to have a nice meal. There was lots of food to choose from and it was YUMMY!!!!! After dinner we played Capture the flag, it was so much fun and some of us got a little bit too competitive. By the end of the game we all so tired and ready for bed.

Day 2:

Giant swing: We were all looking forward to Giant Swing, Ms Ranford said it was her favourite activity.  We were all very brave and went to the top of the swing, but lots of us were scared to let go and drop.  However, when we did it was the best thing ever, Sufnan even sang Let It Go on the way down.

Raft building: We were looking forward to Raft building and had a feeling that we were going to get very wet.  We went through all the safety instructions and got our buoyancy aids and helmets on ready for the water.  After lots of team work, we got the raft built and ready for the water.  Getting on the raft was difficult but staying on it was even harder!  One of our team members fell of before we even left the jetty!!

Challenge course: We had to work as a team to go through a tyre car wash, walk across swinging tyres and go down a rope swing, it was good fun.  Mrs Pierru and Mrs Smith had fun joining in the rope swing. Abseiling: This was the best activity of the day- it was so cool going to the top of the tower but quite scary when you got to the top and saw how far down you had to go down.  We all cheered for each over. At the end of the day we had to do one last activity called Robot wars the aim was to build the best robot.  We had to earn points by competing in mini games, such as silly song contest, sing gargle and a fashion show with recyclable clothes. We had a great laugh and so much fun!!
