Barf group woke up and had another lovely breakfast at Calvert on Day 3! 

We met with Nick and the bus and found out that we were going canoeing! We were very excited, however some of us were a little nervous. It was a great day for it as the weather was a little sunny and calm! We got all of waterproof gear on before we left just in case we got a little bit wet (some of us did!) When we got to the boat house some of the planes that had been flying over the day before were flying over - they were so fast and noisy but we all kept calm and had a watch!

Our first job was to help carry the canoes over to the water. We had four to take over. We then had to add some big logs in between the boat to keep them together so we could travel in bigger groups. We attached these with the ropes provided and then checked they were secure (with some help from Nick and the other instructors). 

Next we went to get on our life vests and jackets. We knew these were important to keep us safe just in case we did fall in (luckily no one did!). Then off we went out on our boats. We all had an oar to use to help us paddle across the water. We were all great at this - even if some of us accidentally splashed Miss Beck and lost our oars in the water! Luckily the safety boat was there to rescue them! Once we got the other side of the lake we stopped from a drink of hot chocolate, warm juice, water or juice. We had a look at the view where we could see the mountains and Calvert Trust! We had a little splash in the water and hopped back on the canoes to head back to Calvert trust for lunch!

In the afternoon Nick took us up to Whinlatter Forest to go on their adventure playground! We went on some slides, climbed over some posts and went on a really big swing! We had a great time being in the outdoors and the weather was very kind to us! We then returned to Calvert - chilled out a little bit and then had tea which was Cottage Pie, Cheese and Onion Quiche and Cumberland Sausage. We had Apple Crumble and Custard for pudding! 

That evening some of us went into the sports hall and did some gymnastics and some ball games. Some of us went into the games room and chilled out watching you've been framed! We then went to bed ready for our final day of activities!
