I know I’ve written a lot about heat this week, so it’s a refreshing change to hear everyone talking about the freezing cold today. Not the weather, which was a little cooler but still pretty splendid, but the water in our river walk. I rather thought a river walk might involve walking to a river, possibly by a river, maybe even across a river, but I hadn’t considered we’d be walking in the river. The water looked and felt like cold tea, and came either half way up your legs (me) or halfway up your chest (the average Year Four child). I was really impressed with the enthusiasm and confidence the children showed in facing a challenge which even the adults found difficult. There was definitely a lot of screams, but they were of excitement, not terror.
The other big event of our last day was the end of the week disco. Mr Cook played a fabulous range of toe-tapping hits of the day, while I took the quieter option of umpiring a cricket match for those who felt like something a little more calm. It’s been another great day, and although the mood is cheerful, I think we’re all looking forward to seeing our families tomorrow.
Thank you for all the updates, they have been a pleasure to read! Thanks for all the lovely photos too! So excited about the return tomorrow!
It looks like they have had a brilliant week, and in a way I feel sad for them that their adventure is ending, but also glad to have my boy home very soon! Thank you to all the teachers who have looked after them so well.
I wouldn’t say they were screams of exitment, Mr West!
Good and cool
