Happy blogging everyone!
Having a great time, beautiful cooked breakfast this morning. We are all waiting for Joey our guide to arrive to go rock climbing and up the rope course!
We went into the woods and saw Leprechauns! We made houses out of sticks in teams, I was with Bessie, Rafi, Ruby and Phoebe. The food was quite good, for breakfast I had egg, beans and toast. Today we are going rock climbing and on the ropes course!
Bedtime was 9pm, but it was hard to get to sleep because we were so excited! I liked the orienteering but it was hard to find your way around. I liked breakfast because we thought it was going to be toast and cereal but it was actually bacon, eggs, toast and beans – delicious! I can’t wait for rock climbing and rope swinging today!
Me and Ben were really happy that we won the orienteering contest. Sayers Croft is really fun and we really like the dormitories. We’re also just glad to be away!!!!!!
WOW that is great !!! Well done boys! RAFI ,SAM and Ben we need some more medals for other Games as well!! Keep up the good work, keep in touch as well.

Hello! Looks like you’re having an amazing time….can’t wait to see more pictures. How was rock climbing?
So far this is the best school trip EVER! We have done Rock Climbing Caving and lots more. Everybody is really happy and we are all enjoying ourselves! Looking forward to the disco
Sayers Croft is AMAZING!!!!!!!
Today we went on an awesome ropes course and also really high rock climbing. After lunch we had caving which you had to fit into really small spaces and there was a ball pit. There was also a blindfold obstacle course where you had to trust your partner to guide you through the course and a maze.
I miss you guys! Hope you had a fun day; wish I was there still. Please go to sleep sooner tonight girls!! Those poor teachers need a sleep too.
If you’re all asleep early tonight I might even reveal how to do one of my card tricks!!
It sounds and looks like you are all having lots of fun. Baked beans at breakfast, I bet Ruby was happy! We can’t wait for more updates. Girls see if you can beat the boys to sleep tonight.
Hi Tash . What fun . I will be looking forward to hearing all about it when I see you next week. Love Bea X
Sayers Croft is AMAZING(so far)!!! We have done so many cool things already and we haven’t even been three days through the week! Yesterday we did orienteering and tried to complete challenges. This morning we had a dorm check-the boys and girls drew. It was SO tense! We have done rock-climing, rope courses and loads of other cool activities!
I LOVE Sayers Croft! My favourite thing so far that I have done is the caves, except the fact that I had to crawl everywhere! Today we did this ropes course which is apparently like Go Ape (not that I know anything about this Go Ape!). Then we swapped with the other group, who were doing rock climbing. That was also fun, but I’m scared of heights, so when I got to the top I was a little freaked out!
Hi Mia! Hi Everyone!
Great to hear you are all having a fantastic time. We will have to visit Go Ape the next time we are in Norfolk . . . And caves the next time we are in Derbyshire. But I agree with you about heights!
Have fun!
It is amazing and the caving is so fun it is also dark in there!!
Hi Tash,
It sounds like you’re having an amazing time! Did you get to turn your light off underground for total darkness? You’re very brave x
Hey Tash,
Did you get my parcel for you? Have a look if not because it is the most awesome thing ever if I do say so my self (It is in a green and white bag). It is so weird here without you and really quiet…..I don’t know why because you’re NEVER loud! Pan slept at my feet yesterday in place of a hot water bottle, but was a bit confused at where you were and send his love. Rhuby and greengage are roosting now and I’m about to eat pork chops YUM YUM! Is the food as good at sayers croft as I remember ? I would send all this in a letter but it wouldn’t have got to you in time and this is really cool (I wish I had this when I was at sayers croft!). By the way you are so brave for going caving I would be way too scared and generally claustrophobic. And I hope Clio gets well and joins you and Betty soon! Are you guys in the same group? Anyway I love you so much and hope you are having the best time in the world! Miss you!

Freya was very excited about the surprise parcel in your bag… hope you liked it! Sounds like you are having a great adventure…I am so impressed by the caving! Looking forward to more pics on the EP website…have fun!
Sayers Croft is really fun .I’m really enjoying it. We went to the adventure park and I finished on my first go!
Well done. I am very happy that you are enjoying Sayers Croft and keep it up. Have nice sleep and keep in touch.

Today was really fun, we did rock climbing and and the compass stuff was really fun. I can’t wait to walk up pitch hill tomorrow!!!!
It’s day 2 and it’s been great . We went into the woods and we did this really fun caving activity, we also did a maze and a blindfold trail. This morning we did rock climbing and a really cool rope course there was a Tarzan jump were we had to hold onto a rope and jump onto a net. Tonight we are going on a night walk!
You look like you are all having an amazing time! And a cooked breakfast! Bet you were happy lily! Looking forward to more updates. Enjoy your night walk with torches and also, GET SOME SLEEP!!!
We’re having a little break from all the activity – watching Gnomeo and Juliet – before a night walk later on. Really hope we’ve worn everyone out today – high ropes, bouldering, climbing, orienteering, compass work, caving, a maze… Surely!!!
Can’t believe how busy you’ve all been!
You’ve had a jam packed adventure already, plus a cooked breakfast….and it’s only day 2!!! Wow!
So looking forward to seeing what’s next.
How high did you climb Ché? x
Hello Betsy, glad you are having such an amazing time, keep up the good work. Really proud of your tenacity despite your little bump! Great fighting spirit that, make sure you get every ounce of fun out of the next few days. Clem & Conti miss you loads too!

Lots and lots of love xxx
Hi Sam, it’s quiet when you are not here! Hope you’re having fun 🙂 from B@¥
Today we went to pitch hill, it was a 4 hour walk in total but it was was worth it! There was an amazing view of the country side! When we were there we had lunch & then played a game where you have to pick up all the acorns we could find and place them in a line! After, we made little mouse houses for the wood mice to live in!
I’m so glad that you are all having a great time. School is very quite with out all of you. Moatasam and I are missing all of you. I can’t believe that you all got a cooked breakfast there, you are so lucky. How was the night walk? You have the long awaited disco tomorrow night, I can’t wait to see the photos from that night. I am in Year 3 and I’m having a fantastic time. I’ve got to know quite a few of your brothers and sisters. Enjoy the rest of your stay. See you all on Friday
Today was so fun. We walked up pitch hill, we also made little huts and house for door mice. Last night we did a night walk we went in pairs. We followed little reflecters, it was one pair after the other so we were alone in the woods! The instructor (Imogen) waited until she could not see the partners before lights.
Wowzers!!! You all look like you’re having the most incredible time…it’s very VERY quiet at home without you, we are missing you SOOO much….. love you Mum ps….please write❤️
I am really having fun , Today we had a really really really long walk at pitch hill. And only just yesterday we went caving in these awesome plastic tunnels that lead to secret areas. Also when there was a ball pit with a line across I went under it ( thinking I had to hold my breath but I really didn’t need to. PHEW!)
I am having a great time with everyone that’s here. It has been so fun, on Thursday we are having a disco because it’s our last night. Today on Wednesday we walked all the way up pitch hill. And tonight we are having a camp fire and we are going to roast marshmallows I am very excited, really really don’t want to go home.
It sounds like the most amazing trip full of adventure. I love a night walk. Did you hear any strange noises? And a camp fire and sing song as well? I bet you’re all looking forward to going disco crazy tomorrow night. Can’t wait to see you Ruby , it’s not the same without you. Lots of love mummy. X
This week has been sooooooo fun! Today we did a big walk up Pitch hill. When we went up the hill we song lots of songs. When we were on the hill we played lots of fun games in three groups. One was we had to lay pinecones on the ground and make it as long as we can. We were walking for 6 hours. Tomorrow we are having a disco and we are going on a trip to the Tudor house museum!!!
So far it has been AMAZING!!!! Today we went on a big walk to pitch hill (we went there in year 2!) After we just came to rest and a shower. I already bought things for my family and now I’m gonna buy something for me. I can’t wait to tell all the adventures we went through – including the night walk! Tomorrow is the disco where everyone is dressed fancy and is having a good time, so I can’t wait to go! The place is really nice and I’m looking forward to the museum trip tomorrow!

We just sang our hearts out around the camp fire, all EP favourites including Minka, Rhythm of Life, Autumn is Here and Superman. Miss Heyes read scary (ish) stories until Coach Martin jumped out and scared her! We roasted marshmallows and enjoyed them chargrilled.
Hi Lily, Gracie wants to know if she can have your bedroom if you aren’t coming home!! Haha not really! So glad you are all having a fab time. We are looking forward to hearing about all your adventures (and misadventures!) Enjoy your last day tomorrow and of course the long awaited disco! Xxx

Today we had a really fun trip to the Weald and Downland Museum. There were Tudor houses outside with all the furniture placed as it would be in Tudor times. In some houses we did workshops; my favourite was working with wool to make yarn. We also made pomanders. We saw animals. We gave the pigs apples which made them excited. Tonight we’re going to have a disco!!!
Those pigs squealed with delight, when they ate those apples !
Hi today we went to the Weald and Downland mueseum and it was really fun.
Have fun at the disco year 5! Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Xxx
We will! Today we went to a Tudor mueseum, where we saw a blacksmith, a miler, a Tudor cook and a Victorian school!
The pitch hill walk yesterday was SO tiring. We had a pinecone race where we had to find pinecones and put them in a straight line in 5 minutes. We also made little houses for mice.The Outdoor Museum today was so fun. We made pomanders and they will smell like the herbs for 30 years! We also spun our own wool. Tonight we are having our DISCO! It is going to be loads of fun!
Hiya , Beth i remember this so bad. I miss you, I got you a chocolate. See you tomorrow, Grandma says wow, BTW i have been looking after jimmi, he is sleeping on your bed
XOXO NELL
