Lincolnsfields day 1

 Lincolnsfield Day 1!

It has been a brilliant, busy beginning to our trip. We arrived, had a briefing and then went straight into our first activity. We were in 3 groups and had to find our way around the ….. using a map and numbers. We had to solve 10 riddles, a few of which had the children (and adults) stumped. We enjoyed our lunches and then headed to the woods where we played ‘manhunt’ amongst the bluebells and then competed in 2 teams while working on our teamwork.

 














We returned to our dorms to make our beds – some were quicker than others (it took some an hour but they got there). 






Then it was time for dinner – pudding of chocolate sponge and custard was definitely the winner. After pausing for 30 minutes to let our food go down, we went and ran off lots of steam in the softplay and then all had showers (on the insistence of the adults). Our vote was to watch Madagascar so we enjoyed popcorn, biscuits and squash while watching it before bed.

 








We are already commenting on being tired so hopefully will sleep ready for an even busier day tomorrow.

Lincolnsfields 2024 Day 1

 We have had a fun packed first day here at Lincolnsfields. We arrived in glorious sunshine and it continued throughout the day. We began with a quick talk about the safety requirements and expectations and then went straight into an activity. We were orienteering, using maps to get to know the site. The children solved a range of riddles (they were better at this than some of the adults!)  After this, it was lunchtime. We then headed to the woods where we were taken on a walk through them – including some muddy bits. The children then took part in team building challenges in the woodland. They completed ‘The Floor is Lava’ using boards to cross the lava, and ‘The Wind Game’ where they worked together to reach between 2 trees (some were rather a stretch). The children then played Zombies vs Humans and finally returned to the main buildings where they were told their rooms. They then began making their beds – some more successfully than others.  We had dinner, a quick rest...

 Today was a very busy day with lots of new experiences! After a fairly decent night's sleep, the children were up and out for breakfast at 9am. This was after playing a few games and enjoying balloons as it was one of the children’s birthdays. After breakfast, they participated in 3 Children at War activities. They visited a wartime house and learnt about the different tools, toys and activities in that period. They went into a wartime ‘Digging for Victory’ garden, where they saw an Anderson Shelter and then had the job of putting out an incendiary device which had fallen onto a roof – this required a lot of hard work with a stirrup pump. They also visited a Blitz experience where they learnt about the Blitz from a gentleman who was a child at the time. They learnt about his first hand experiences before then attending a museum on the time. Not only this but they also got to ride in the back of a wartime military vehicle which was used in Normandy in 1942 but is still in working c...
