Thursday

The group was split into four groups of ten children. Every group tried each of the following activities. Semaphore, Parachute Games and Orienteering.

Semaphore:Ten children were divided into two teams, with each team standing at either end of the field. They had to imagine they were stranded on different desert island.
Having learnt four letters each, the children then had to send messages to the opposite team, asking for vital supplies.
Using a wire between them, they could send and receive their items of chocolate, water etc.
Initially this task appeared to be quite tricky. In fact everyone was surprised how easy it was.
Parachute Games (not pictured)
Orienteering: The group was instructed how to read a compass.
They then had to set bearings before navigating a short trail around part of the village.
Origami: The children were taught some simple folds moves before making a paper frog and having an obstacle race with it.
This was all very well, until it was decided that the new Origami folds could also be used to make WATERBOMBS!!
During the afternoon, the teachers took eight children each and made as many waterbombs as they could in thirty minutes.
There were no winners or losers during the fight, just a lot of fun and wet people.
Thursday evening:

The evening was spent first at the Village hall making kites, and later taking part in games and quizzes.
Kite making: Spread out on the floor, with scissors, string, plastic sheeting and sellotape, everyone settled down to make kites.
The warden of the hostel supplied everyone with a basic kit to work on.
This task took much longer than anticipated. It became obvious that everyone was getting really tired.....and we still had another whole day before going home.
