Blog for Friday 13th September.



       We all arrived at the Low Gillerthwaite Field Centre at 5pm. At this point we all settled in with Kelsey and James cutting wood for the fire and Becca’s cook team (me, Kelsey and Danika) prepared dinner which was pasta bolognaise that we all really enjoyed.

After dinner we were split into two groups, the Durdians and the engineers. The engineers had to teach the Durdians how to build a bridge (using paper, scissors, glue and pencils) however we (the Durdians) couldn’t speak to the engineers unless we were somehow touching or connected to them. If we weren’t then we had to scream which Tia seemed to really enjoy. To make things worse, the engineers had to find out all our little annoyances – such as having to kiss each other on the shoulder when greeting, not being able to say no and hand shaking not being allowed under any circumstances - on their own, which wasn’t very easy. However we all really enjoyed the exercise, just and so managing to complete the task in the time allowed.

Throughout the evening we’d all thought of questions to ask about our visit to Tanzania and placed them into a bowl. After we had finished our tasks for the evening we all sat down in the lounge and picked out questions one by one to ask from the bowl. It took quite a while to get through them all but we eventually managed to finish asking all the questions that we had to the leaders (and Barney).

To end the night everyone sang happy birthday to me and we all ate lots of lovely chocolate cake. J
