The school school took part in a Diwali themed day, exploring and learning about the Hindu festival of light.

The morning started off with woodland activities followed by hyde building. In the afternoon it was off to Cromer to do a town trail and visit the life boat museum. They enjoyed dressing up as lifeboat crew.
The day was rounded off with swimming at Splash so at least they are all now clean!

Another action packed day started off with team building activities. After lunch it was off  on a monster trail around the Felbrigg estate. They had to navigate carefully to find the clues to their challenge and watch out for monsters on the route.
In the evening they were enthralled by a story teller.

(Apologies for the angle of the photos!)

An enjoyable first day at Aylmerton. We arrived safely and once settled in to our rooms the children took part in a few ice breaking games.

Then it was lunch and off to West Runton to explore the rock pools. Crabs and water snails galore. This was followed by a lovely long walk along to Cromer to catch the  coach  back to Aylmerton.

After a dinner of pizza it was wrap up warm time again before heading out for a twilight safari.

We must have succeeded in tiring them out as they settled down quite quickly for the first night. Hopefully this will continue!
