A new one for Somerford…Survivor

Well at long last, the day finally arrived.  After working their socks off all week on the SATs tests Y6 have set off on their well-deserved holiday to the Isle of Wight.  After a calm and steady morning, it was time to get on the coach and we were a little excited to say the least!!

After a short coach journey to Southampton, it was time to get on the ferry.  We quickly settled ourselves on the seats outside and enjoyed waving goodbye to the mainland as we set sail for the Isle of Wight.  It was avery calm journey and the sun even made a brief appearance for us.

It was only a short distance from East Cowes to the PGL site and, before we knew it, we were checking in and meeting our leaders.  Scott, Connor and Georgie explained all the rules to us and we listened really carefully. 

THEN . . .  it was time to unpack our belongings and settle into our rooms.  Interestingly, the boys made short work of getting their rooms spic and span and the Room Points were allocated accordingly.  

It didn’t take us long to unpack and then the time we had all been waiting for . . .  DINNER TIME!!!!  The options were roast pork or battered cod, with potato wedges, peas, carrots, salad bar and waffle with toffee sauce.  DELICIOUS.  Many of the children had seconds or thirds and there was even a ‘fourths’ for one person!!!  At the end of our meal we sang Happy Birthday to Jack and we are looking forward to sharing his birthday cake after our night hike.  We are off on that at 7:30pm and we’ll update you with more pictures from that later.  We are missing you all lots but having LOADS of fun!!
