Derwent Hill Team Challenge

On Wednesday night we all took part in the Derwent Hill Team Challenge.  The tasks involved lots of teamwork and persistence, as you will see.
Task 1 was to move the planks, by working together.

Task 2 was to stretch over the widest gap, using just our bodies.

Task 3 was to move the ball to the tree and back using sections of pipe, but you couldn't let the ball drop or you had to start again.

Task 4 was to get the whole team through the spiders web with out touching it or we had to start again.

 Task 5 was to get the whole team through the Hula Hoop in the fastest time, without letting go of hands.

Task 6 was to get the whole team through the giant elastic band without letting go of hands.

Thornton's Chocolates Day 5 Orienteering - Follow us, we know the way!

Our last morning's activity was orienteering. We learnt how to read a map and set off in teams to find the clues.  Everyone made it back, and then we went on the low ropes course.
A great end to a fabulous week

Thornton's Chocolates Day 4 Canoeing and Big Swing!

The day started with getting ready to go canoeing. First we had to get all our saftey gear on and then get the canoes in the water.

Then we had lots of fun, working as a team to get the canoes to go where we wanted them to and paddle in the same direction.

Then we played some games and it all went swimmingly.

After that we went on the Big Swing.

Lots of fun and teamwork to support each other in this very personal challenge.

Finkle's Twinklers Day 5

Our last morning has been just as action packed!  

We took our kit back and cleaned it, yes we cleaned it ourselves! 

Orienteering is amazing 

We learnt how to orient our maps,and had fun running around the grounds. 

What an amazing week.
