  Wed 18 Apr 2018 CM

  After a full night's sleep we are ready for the last activities before it's home time. Everyone slept well and again enjoyed a hearty breakfast before climbing, archery and nightline 😊 Children are slightly dishevelled but all very happy, and it's actually warm! 

   

  We've had the best time and have some magical memories and tales to tell - see you soon! 

  

• Bedtime at Robinwood!

  Tue 17 Apr 2018 CM

  After another brilliant day, it's all quiet at Robinwood with only the sound of snoozing echoing around the site 😪. After completing Team Challenges and some rather questionable drawings 🤔, everyone was out like a light. Sleep well everyone and goodnight from Robinwood! 

   

  Just to remind parents and carers that Mrs Hill will send out a Parentmail message re-confirming the time of our arrival back to school.

   

  See you all tomorrow 😀!

  Hello everyone at home!

   

  We're having a fantastic time at Robinwood.  After a good sleep and the infamous and hearty breakfast, we were straight into activities this morning.

   

  For Forest Group, it's been Dungeon of Doom, attacking the challenge course and archery with some fabulous skills on display and great problem solving / team work to escape the dungeon - just in the knick of time, phew! After all, we didn't want to miss our lunch :-)

   

  For Hill Group, it's been a morning of giant swinging, trapeze and a very last minute escape from the piranha pool - relief all 'round! We weren't sure you'd see us again as the fishies were swarming! 

   

  For Wood Group, they've been off climbing the Robinwood super wall with impressive speed and agility. Then it was onto the the dizzy heights of the crate challenge (which did not topple, note to Hill Group!) and the Dragon's Quest during which the children worked really hard to find the golden egg - well done Wood Group!  

   

  We've all just enjoyed a very tasty lunch (more food, there is a theme here!) Mrs Walters and Miss McKinney are arriving this afternoon and we look forward to yet more fun at Robinwood. Mr Erskine, Miss Smith and Mrs Watson have been so impressed with the children's attitiudes and the approach they've taken to all they have been asked to do. They are, as always, a credit to our school. 

   

  Happy days at Robinwood = magical memories being created :-)

• 18:00: ROBINWOOD UPDATE (16.4.18)

  Mon 16 Apr 2018 CM/LS/ES

  The children and staff have arrived safely at Robinwood - and in the sunshine!  On arrival, we made our own beds (well pulled the duvet cover onto the duvet!) This in itself proved something of a challenge for some of the children - can you guess who?  It was then straight into activity groups. Behaviour has been fantastic and everyone is taking part with lots of enthusiasm. Our focus areas for the visit will be on teamwork and listening skills; the children are already proving how good they are at both with instructions being followed very well indeed. Well done to everyone!

   

  Wood Group whom are working with Miss Smith and Abbie (from Robinwood) have been enjoying views of the spectacular countryside whilst partaking of the  Giant's Swing!  Everyone enjoyed this challenge, especially Miss Smith!  Children in this group are now attempting to escape the Dungeon of Doom - good luck to them, as I hear it's nearly evening meal time so let's hope they get out in time!

   

  Mrs Watson's Hill Group and Robinwood's Arthur have tackled the crate challenge which involved everyone taking turns to lead, attached to a very secure (and long!) safety rope to create the Robinwood Shard of crates!  The crate tower got higher and higher and Hill Group managed to reach the top before it came crashing down - after which they laughed at the mess which had to be then cleared up, by Hill Group! This group have also worked together on Night Line wearing blackout goggles and using only their hearing and touch to navigate the Night Line course whilst avoiding the pesky Robinwood squirrels who get up to no good with water guns 

   

  Forest Group with Mr Erskine and Bob (who is our Group Leader) have bravely tackled caving whizzing through the tunnels and twists with speed and superb flexibility -  we'll call this group the bendy gang in future! Forest Group were super kind to one another as they encouraged friends to have a go and everyone came out the other side in one piece, thankfully leaving the Robinwood zombi inside!

   

  With more activities tonight and a yummy evening meal plus supper, we should hear some very sound sleepers come lights out, we hope!
