Peat Rigg 2023- Day Two
The day began with the tired faces of children who hadn’t realised what lights out meant. However, credit where it is due they were up bright and early, raring to go!
First stop, breakfast. A whole host of cereal plus a cooked breakfast with ample amounts of toast, they were fuelled for the day. We were then told what the morning activities and afternoon activities were. Some groups were doing the activities that they had not done, others were ready for something brand new- the beck scramble!
A short ride into the countryside we arrived at our destination. The beck was the perfect wake up. Cold water, rocks to slide down- what more could we want? The children (and teachers) waded through the water, floated around on their backs and some even took a trust fall into the water- the teachers as well- Mrs Oldroyd became Mrs Coldroyd! It was so good, Mr Clarke went twice. The laughter filled the woods and the sounds of cold, but extremely happy children, could be heard all the way in Whitby!
Later on for our evening meal we had a wonderful BBQ. Hot dogs, burgers and then ice lollies for dessert. It was delicious and a perfect final evening meal.
The evening activities consisted of night line and team games. The teams worked incredibly well together to complete the team games, the night-line proved a challenge. There were rumblings of ninja squirrels in the trees and they made themselves known with a shower of pine cones. Most of the children navigated the night-line with ease; others decided to walk into the trees and tyres rather than around them- oops!
After the evening activities had finished, we got changed into our PJs and went for supper. Another hot chocolate and biscuit- yum! It was then time to head to our rooms to pack and await a room inspection.
The teachers came around for the room inspection and were extremely impressed with the cleanliness and how well packed we were- they never even found our secret sweet stash, shhh!
Room inspection complete, it was time to settle down for our final night at Peat Rigg. I’m sure it’ll be another quiet night…
Enjoyed so much even reading about it. I am glad the children are having a great time 👍
