Class 6 - Carlton Lodge Residential 2017: Day 4

Hi all,

How have we arrived at this point already? We have been away all week and now this is our LAST night!

Today we have been on the lake in Canoes and rafts; we have been up the trapeze pole to the Zip Wire and have scaled the High Ropes Course.

Bush craft allowed people to build dens (and act as a sales person to advertise them to the the groups) and EAT BUGS!

Once again, the wellies and muddy shoes have exploded all over the floors so we have an incredible amount of tidying up to do before we come home tomorrow!

Tonight we held the Carlton Lodge Oscars which celebrated all the things children had done to make us laugh! We couldn't possibly pick a single achievement for each person as they have achieved so much.... 'I'm so glad that I did that....' 'I'm glad you talked me into that...' etc. etc.

We must just say that these children are INCREDIBLE - brave, characterful and inspiring. Tonight we have laughed so much WITH them - many of us were hysterical - tears and everything!

They have grown so much as people this week; i'm sure you will see the differences when they get home. Once they've caught up on their sleep that is...

It has been an absolute honour to be away with them this week and, although we are all shattered, we will miss them next week during half term!

Reminder:

We are due back at Shadwell at approximately 2:30pm - children can be collected immediately from the Hall.

I will notify each office when we leave and they will text you. I will also inform you if we are stuck in any traffic etc. Please collect medicines before you go too :-)

See you all tomorrow!

Miss Pickard,

Year 6 and the whole Residential Team xxx
