Most people played in the cricket tournament which Mr Hogue organised.  The rest were divided into two groups.  The first group went for a walk and collected all sorts of leaves, twigs and flowers around the Jungle Block.  Then they went to the Art Room where Miss Lane-Cole had prepared some tables with water colours, collage, pastels and charcoal.  We used the materials to make something with the things we had collected.  Everyone had something to take home.

The other group did some drama with Mr Moore; something to do with some Roald Dahl stories.  It was great fun.

We had a fantastic BBQ lunch with meringues, passion fruit, strawberries and cream.  Ashdown food is always so delicious and the visitors were really happy.

After lunch we had a bit of free time which was great fun. We put on our trainers and went down to the athletics field where Mr Moore organised a game of stoolball.  He chose captains and then left us to pick our own teams.  Then he explained it really well and Mrs Costin scored.  Mr Moore was the bowler for both sides.  At the end it was a draw and we were all exhausted and ready for a swim.  Some of us did a lot of lengths and some dives too.

We were all very hungry and went back to Beech House where the cricket had finished and there was a match tea and some special goody bags for the cricketers.  There were some medals for the best team.  Everyone agreed that it had been a very good day in the fresh air.  We were lucky that the rain had stopped in time and the sun came out.
