What a fabulous send off for our wonderful P7 class!
A huge thanks to Liz Farnan, Environmental Educator who organised ‘I’m a P7 get me out of here’ fun filled activity day. Split into 2 teams, there were lots of challenges and opportunities to win gold stars and be crowned queen or king of the jungle. A nightline was the first challenge. Both groups followed a guide rope while blindfolded. Lots of cooperation and communication was needed in order to lead us safely to base camp with both teams earning their first gold star. Each team member earned a wiggly worm or snake jelly sweet.
Challenge 2 required the teams to leave base camp and search the jungle for the dinosaur egg (watermelon). Once the dinosaur egg was found, it was cut and eaten for the morning break. For the 3rd challenge the teams were once again sent into the jungle to find the Viking Runes and crack the code. Once the code was cracked, both teams had the opportunity to explore the jungle and to build shelters from wood and tarpaulin.
Wood was gathered, the campfire was lit and the marshmallows were toasted while watching the lovely, emotional messages from their friends.
It was time to head back for lunch. After lunch, there was time to play in the park before a happy but tired bunch of kids headed back to school. A fun day was had!
