What a fantastic few days we had a Hooke Court! It was so wonderful spending time with the children in a relaxed and informal setting and watching them try new things and participate in team games and activities.
Hopefully the children have shared with you what we got up to. There was shelter building, a night search rescue, kayaking, orienteering, team games, singing around the campfire, a rocket workshop and rocket launching (these year's rocket were all very impressive).
The children slept really well (considering) and we didn't have any cases of homesickness, which was incredible.
We also had two special visitors whilst we were away: Miss Johnson came to see us on Thursday evening and Mr Spracklen dropped by on Friday morning.
Hooke Court was a real highlight of the year and I'm sure the children seemed older and a few inches taller on their return to POW.
This week:
Hopefully the children are now feeling well rested. Next week, as I'm sure you are aware it will be very hot. We will have a lighter timetable with maths and literacy based activities in the morning. Mr Spracklen would also like to re record ALL award speeches.
