Hautbois House

This blog will be regularly updated whilst we are away on our residential in Hautbois.

We have some very excited children and we are now counting down the days until we go. Just a few reminders before we go.

All cases to be left under the bicycle shed on the morning we leave.

All medicines/inhalers/etc. (WHICH MUST BE CLEARLY LABELLED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME AND THE DOSAGE REQUIRED) should be handed to Mr. Codman;
The children will need a packed lunch and a drink (not fizzy please) for the first day;
Children are NOT allowed to bring mobile phones or personal stereos/ipods/other electrical equipment.

Hopefully the weather will stay nice and warm for us so we suggest that your child brings a named bottle of sun cream.

We have arrived safely and have enjoyed our first activity, we have either been climbing, archery or the nightlife activity. I am really proud of the climbers several made it to the top despite their fears and worries.

It is lunchtime now and we are all very hungry. After lunch we are either doing archery, the obstacle course or archery.  I will upload photos this evening.

What a fab afternoon, it was amazing watching the children conquer lots of fears by abseiling.

The highlight of the day has been making the beds!!

The children's bellies are full, we have eaten loads and they have had a good run around to burn off their energy. All children are now in bed, not asleep yet!!

Had a good night, most children were asleep by 10, sounds like several are awake now (6:30).

Busy day today doing water activities, hope the weather is good.

We have had a lovely day out on the water, the children have kayaked, canoed and built rafts. Some got wetter than others but all had a fantastic time. It was really lovely to see Mrs Long, who came to visit this afternoon.

We are off outside shortly to have toasted marshmallows around the campfire.

I will upload some more photos once the children are in bed, which I don’t think will be too late as they are tired.

Had a brilliant nights sleep, most seem to be asleep by 9:30 and have not long woken up. Another busy morning as we are either crate stacking, abseiling or on the climbing wall.

The children have had a fantastic time and have been excellently behaved. I know they are really looking forward to seeing you all. We will be back by 3pm when the children can go straight home.

Thank you. See you all later.
