After breakfast, the children returned to their rooms for the morning inspection. Staff checked that beds were neatly made, belongings were put away, and the rooms were tidy and organised. This encouraged responsibility and teamwork as everyone worked together to ensure their shared spaces were clean and presentable.

Once the inspections were complete, the children split into different groups and rotated through a range of activities during the morning.

One group took part in the challenge course. This included a series of tunnels that the children had to crawl through, testing their confidence and determination. They also completed a “blind line” activity where one child was blindfolded while their partner guided them along a rope pathway using clear instructions and reassurance. This activity focused on trust, communication, and teamwork.

Another group participated in orienteering. Using maps and compasses, the children explored the outdoor area while searching for checkpoints. They worked together to read the maps, decide which direction to travel, and locate each marker.

Meanwhile, a different group attended the archery session. Under the supervision of instructors, the children learned how to hold the bow correctly, aim safely, and shoot arrows towards the target. They enjoyed practising their aim and trying to get closer to the centre with each attempt.

By rotating between activities, all groups had the opportunity to experience each challenge while developing teamwork, communication, and confidence throughout the morning.
