Which area of the school would be safest if a volcano erupted in the Prayer Garden ?
We investigated through answering a series of questions e.g. Is there anything to stop the magma? How far away from the place of eruption?
We fed back our findings to each other.
We decided the safest place was at the entrance gate near the main road because there were objects to block the lava and there was also the possibility of asking for support from other civilians.

‘The Big Debate – Which has been best so far?’
Children have been fiercely debating over dinner their points to which activity and which meal has been best so far! Kayaking,abseiling and Pioneering have appeared popular as have the Nandos-style peri-peri chicken last night and the bacon rolls yesterday morning!The children have become familiar with where the ‘dry room’ is in Ben’s House already and have been reminded that the best place for a towel to dry would be hung up over their bed railing and not at the bottom of their suitcase!!!
ALL children are eating very well and helping clear their table after each meal which has been great to see
Day 1, in Ben’s House!!!
We are here and arrived safely!
The children have enjoyed their first two activities, a lunch and an evening meal finished with a rigorous night hike through the woods of Fairthorne. Some songs were even sung at our half-way point, which included the classic ‘Bungalow’ song!!! Children improvised and got stuck into it, in readiness for Camp Fire night on Thursday.
Hot chocolate and some classic, much appreciated biscuits were consumed by all about an hour ago and now we are hoping for a seamless transition into skin-care regimes, tooth-brushing and sleep!!! Fingers crossed for the last one!
Photos to follow tomorrow night.
