It was Judgement day my son was just about to see me. I was walking next to my friend Jessie, the person that saved my life a few  times. Finally I seen my child but my wife didn't make it my son remembered my letter as he cried. "The war is over" bellowed the people of the city.I was so happy some people I know didn't make it. I am happy but also sad it is only me and my son left. I can only hope I can survive.

We are packed and ready to go. After that, we have the final challenge activity.

See you all soon...

Let's face it: Fiennes looked pretty exhausted this morning!

However, the boys who got 10/10 for room tidiness won an extra canoe session for the team! Look at their response....

Photos might have to wait until the slide show as we will get seriously wet!

Fiennes walked to Pooley Bridge today. After a 5 mile walk and steamer back, we then went in the tunnels (although there are no pictures of this)!



We also did some scrambling ( hence the helmets)- see the video!

Another lovely morning here and we always enjoy a good breakfast to get us ready for the day's activities.

Today, Fiennes group are walking and going on the lake, Dalton group are canoeing and Bonnington are gorge walking!

Before half-term, Ryan, Jack and Drew wrote a letter to our partner school in Nepal.  Here is their reply:


Hello Ryan, Jack and Drew,

Thank you for writing to us. 

We liked the the second paragraph where you have written about our country Nepal. Also, we liked your invitation, but it would be very very difficult for us to go to England for economic reasons... Your 1 Pound is equal to 160 Rupees Nepali ... The normal salary of a common person is about Rs. 6000 per month which is about 38 British pounds. Only the rich business people make a lot of money.

We stay at Harsha Home (https://www.facebook.com/harshahome) ... our second home ... but we study in St.Xavier's School ... we are lucky to be given scholarships. At Harsha Home we are 10 girls, from class 2 to class 8 ...

Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic last day of term at Tanfield Comp today. 

The two Steves (Barlow and Skidmore) entertained us with hilarious tales from their stories.  As you can see from the video below, it was a fully interactive experience, which the children raved about on the way home!

They encouraged us to believe that 'we are all writers'.  My favourite part was when they said that you should write about what you know: YOU!   They also took the time to talk to Leah about her 100wc post.

What was your favourite part?

Enjoy the video below - sorry there is no sound, but I've added a Youtube clip to make it more atmospheric!
