We woke to a very blustery Welsh morning. After a hearty breakfast we were ready for a day of coastal walking and rock climbing.
The Swans!
The Coots!
On Stackpole Quay, we looked for fossils of ancient corals and identified different types of rock.
Here we are standing either side of two tectonic plates!
From Stackpole Quay we walked along the coastal path to Barafundle Beach where we spent some time on the sand.
From here we climbed higher and higher until we were overlooking the sea. The wind was immense and we struggled to stand, let alone walk, at times! The wind was blowing the spray high into the sky and it was an amazing experience.
Bit breezy!
After a well deserved lunch, the children set out to climb. They approached it with enthusiasm, positivity and resilience. Everyone climbed and abseiled and supported each other with shouts of encouragement or advice. It was a great team moment and they should be super proud of their achievements. If they can climb in those slimy, wet conditions they can climb any mountain!
Today we split into our two groups for our morning activities: Coots went canoeing and Swans went rock-pooling.
What do you think we might find?
Angle Bay had some amazing rock pools, we found: a shally, four different types of crab, some sea stars and winkles. We even escaped back to the bus before the rain came down!
In the afternoon we visited Pembroke Castle which is an impressive example of a Norman castle. We learned about barbicans, murder holes, keeps, dungeons and oubliette! Beech class will happily share their knowledge with you when we return!
Entering the castle with a battering ram!
We enjoyed a relaxing evening, writing our diaries, playing games and chess in the common room and listening to a shared story before bed time.
Arrived safe and sound at 1pm, in the driving wind and rain. Settled into our rooms then a lovely lunch! We then prepared ourselves in full rain gear for a walk to Broadhaven beach. We've seen a giant pike, a murmuration of rooks, founds a mermaids purse from a blonde ray, some jelly fish washed up on the shore. We climbed up through the dunes to see the view " wow it's awesome!" " amazing" " l want to bring my mum back here" These were just some of the responses from the kids. Sorry no photographic evidence as it was very wet when we set out but it soon cleared up.
Down time before dinner!
Following dinner we started our John Muir Conservation Award diaries, there's been some great writing of today's activities.
Diary writing in full swing!
Weve since had hot chocolate and are ready for bed.
