The river and land mapping

The students were split into two groups today.... Flora and Fauna. The morning river mapping activity was completed by Fauna and it was fantastic. The students had to take measurements and collect data and they all seemed to thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the water. This was the group who did not have time to abseil yesterday and so following the mapping, most of them attempted to abseil from the bridge down into the water. All had a great time.

During this time, the Flora group were busy mapping the land around the hotel. They were using ranging poles and clinometers in order to create a topographic map.

This after the groups have swapped around (although Flora will not be doing more abseiling).

All morning we have had lovely sunshine but unfortunately, this afternoon the rain came and we have all got rather wet!!!
The students are back in their rooms at the moment and changing into dry warm clothes ready to sit down and work on their booklets for an hour or two.

This evening - movie in the warm with popcorn and hot chocolate.


As for photos - i will do my best - but please understand that the internet here is very very slow and so may not be able to add many.


Please keep sending messages... i will pass them on and ask the children to write a few messages this evening.
