Kingswood Day 4

Our last full day at Kingswood has been a big success.

We started the day with Abseiling where we went down the wall in pairs. This was followed by Laser Tag and Quad Bikes. During the Quad Bike session all the children had to complete a mini driving test before being let loose on their own. Luckily everyone passed by demonstrating their great control and steering.

All three Christchurch teams worked together during orienteering. We worked in mini teams to hunt for the checkpoints around Kingswood and race back to base to swap the code for instructions from the leaders. 

This afternoon the children have been completing the Low Ropes Course and tried Bouldering. For both of these the children needed lots of good balance, strength and coordination. It was great to see everyone encouraging their friends again throughout the activities. 

Henry – I have really enjoyed Quad Biking and Abseiling. Abseiling was so fun because you are scared at the beginning but then you do it and it makes you feel really good.

Izzy – I liked the Leap of Faith when I jumped from the platform onto the trapeze.

Opeyemi – I liked the Zipwire best, going down it was so fun.

Scott – I’m looking forward to Laser Tag, I think I will really like it. My favourite so far is the Zipwire probably.

Tonight's entertainment was karaoke. Lots of enthusiastic singing took place, and even Miss Wake tried to join in. The girls finished the night off with an amazing rendition of Girls Just Want To Have Fun. We thought this summed up our week well as everyone has certainly had a fantastic time and had lots of fun.  

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and telling you the rest of our adventures.
