It was sunny today so we played around for 10 minutes outside then had a short circle time asking each other whether we’ve ever put up a tent, slept in a tent or enjoyed said tent activity! Everyone had and did enjoy…

Tent erecting went well until Nige discovered he’d forgotten the tent pegs but it did provide a good opportunity to reinforce the old ‘preparation, preparation, preparation’ camping rule! No matter, it did work well and turned out to be quite a boys activity. We managed to get 12 children in the tent but when oxygen supplies ran low we shook them out and played some games.

We did some parachute games, a rolling game where you roll with a partner touching toes and try to maintain contact while you roll along the floor, also a hula hoop game (it has to pass round a circle of people holding hands without letting go). Oh and the usual floor sweeping using their backs by the boys!

We did the story of the Blue Coat again and sang our fab new Sparkling Seahorses song sitting round the ‘camp fire’. A great, if slightly chaotic session!
