Tuesday 17th May

Day Two has been a success!

We had an exciting start to the day, breakfast! Cereal, toast, bacon, eggs and hasbrowns were on the menu, which went down a treat.

After room inspections, which were harsh, we had a lovely stroll down to the beach to skim some stones and have a snack before starting our hike up to Old Harry Rocks. We also got to write some lovely poems at the burial mound:

On the Burial Mound by Lauren

Still and silent, the strong tranquil trees,
The dosing flowers,
Is what every bird sees.

A cold subtle breeze,
Blows silently across the ocean.
Grass dances in the wind, the valley is free of emotion.

Cotton candy cloud's,
Shimmering through the trees.
Sitting on the grass and believing I can fly...

All the teachers have been impressed with 5SL today! Well done to Poppy for winning the polo competition.

Whilst stopping for a rest and admiring the view we were lucky enough to spot a baby snake in the grass, we think it's Luna's friend.

We were still smiling when we reached Studland Bay and played lovely on the beach together, after enjoying a special treat.

Dinner, room inspections and showers were in order before a game of cricket, wave jumping and gymnastics on the beach. This was followed by a hot chocolate and bedtime story in our PJs!

All tucked up now and getting a good night sleep ready for tomorrow's visit to Corfe Castle!

Until tomorrow, goodnight.
