This afternoon we all enjoyed making jam tarts. We learnt how pastry is made by rubbing butter into flour and rubbing it carefully with our finger tips to create the breadcrumb appearance. We kneaded the pastry on a floured surface and chilled in the fridge. Other techniques we needed to demonstrate were cutting and rolling …
The sun shone, a bitter wind blew, it snowed, it hailed…. we loved a residential in Scotland!
We have had another fantastic day – the pictures [and videos] below are just a snapshot of the fun we’ve had and I’m sure the children will fill in any blanks. Two more days to go and we can’t wait.
Wow! This was comfortably my favourite moment of the residential so far. One or two members of our group were very frightened by the idea of taking that first step over the edge; we had trembling hands and wobbly knees. Conquering those fears and tackling this wall is not easily done and I am so …
The children have just completed their 5th activity of the day, taking their steps comfortably north of 10,000 and hopefully guaranteeing another good nights rest. The instructors have been complimenting the children on their manners and how well they are following the instructions and we have all been having a cracking time.
Having begun our journey through the woods with enthusiasm in short supply, the children had a fantastic time on the hill walk enjoying uncharacteristically warm Scottish weather. Groups 3 and 4 also enjoyed getting out on the lake to do canoeing and kayaking. Bring on the next activities.
After a huge dinner of lasagne or steak pie (both came with chips and carrots) and a caramel slice for pudding, Group 1 are now channeling their emotions into some ‘passionately’ contested fights. During our fencing session, we have learnt the stance for en garde, how to parry and repost and how to challenge our …
A competitive three minute race ended with Oscar winning by only one crate. Group 1s first activity has been great fun.
Kingfishers Eden Camp visit. EXIT POINT. | 09 Mar 2022
Today we enjoyed learning all about World War II. The children really immersed themselves in the day by planning their own route around the Camp. Huts visited included The Rise of Hitler, Home Front, The Street, Bomber Ops, Prisoner of War, Provisions, AFS & Bevin Boys and Forces Reunion. There was also a visit to …
Kingfishers inserted different materials into a circuit to see whether they conducted electricity and lit a bulb. We found that some were insulators and some were conductors (not the bus kind).
