Sealyham 2015 - Day 2

June 16, 2015
With no alarm clock necessary, our eager pupils were up bright and early ready for the first of many hearty Sealyham breakfasts. Fuelled for the day ahead, our thrill seeking pupils set off for their activities: Group 1 braved the Pembrokeshire coastline as they jumped, climbed and swam against the open waves whilst group 2 donned their bows and arrows to earn themselves their evening cutlery in a competitive Robin Hood style archery tournament. Group 3, however, were way above ground as they swung and climbed through the trees on the high ropes course. Many children faced and conquered their fear of heights.

As interesting sandwich combinations were consumed, the bell for afternoon activities sounded. It was group 1's turn to shoot for their supper whilst, in the water, group 2 enjoyed splashing and dashing around in the beautiful clear sea. Group 3 also took to the water to kayak in idyllic surroundings. Despite a few accidental capsizings, the children thoroughly enjoyed their first water activity of the week.

'Mud glorious mud' summed up the evening's activities as Group 3 faced the ultimate dirt challenge..... the Trim Trail. Soaked from head to toe in gloopy brown mud, the children and Mrs Dible thoroughly enjoyed their experience. Groups 1 and 2 had to trust each other as they pulled down their blind folds and followed the Nightline around the grounds of Sealyham.

The children are having a super time and are relishing the opportunity to take on exciting new challenges. We are so proud of them.
