Lincolnsfields Day 1

 

 Lincolnsfields Day 1!

It has been a brilliant, busy beginning to our trip. Our journey on the coach was one of the most musical I have experienced; with various renditions of 'If your happy and you know it', 'Barbie Girl', and both German and English versions of Silent Night. 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 site 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 ‘floor is lava’ and ‘the wind game’ amongst the bluebells; working on our teamwork. When it began to rain, we spent some time in the soft play.

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 – the pudding of chocolate brownie 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 soft play, having already found our way around it once. We then all had showers (on the insistence of the adults). Our vote was to watch Disney's Hercules 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.
