A message from Miss Gayson
What a great time we have had at UKSA!!
We have been blessed with beautiful sunny weather and the children have had a great time.
They have enjoyed activities such as paddleboarding, kayaking, keelboat sailing and dingy sailing.
The children were also surprised with a visit from Mr Allen on Saturday, which they loved.
I am very proud of all the children and their willingness to give everything a go!
I would also like to thank all the adults who helped on the trip: Mr Ward, Mr Beevers, Miss Owen and Miss Childs (and the blog editor would like to offer a huge thank you to you, Miss Gayson, for all the work you have done in making this trip happen).
We look forward to seeing you all soon
Miss Gayson.
Heading home!!
We are now on the coach and are setting off for home. We estimate a travel time of about 2 hours, so barring traffic on the M25 should be back for 16:30. Please keep the zigzags clear for the coach.
On our way!!
As you can see from our tracker, we have now left the UKSA for Gunwharf Quays. Here you can see the centre disappearing behind us.
Ferry arrival
Our ferry back to the mainland, the Jenny M, is arriving.
The tracker is on so you can follow our progress back home. See you all soon!!
Boat race
Finally, our boats are set off on their maiden (and final) voyage(s):
Now it's time for lunch, ready to board the ferry home at 12:30.
Final activity
Our final activity is boat building using a variety of recycled materials.
Here are the teams choosing team names:
And here is a selection of the material they will be using:
Good morning
This morning is a little cooler than it has been but the sun's out and it looks a lovely day.
The children are currently removing bed linen and ensuring they've left nothing behind. After breakfast we will return to the Sea change building one last time to remove our suitcases ready for departure.
