Moorland Hall - Year 7

We are having a fantastic time here in Moorland Hall, the days are full of exciting activities such as mountain biking, where we have all had a chance to show our brilliant skills. But so many sports bring lots of tiredness! We have walked around Padstow and bought souvenirs, or sat down by water’s edge trying to catch the passing crabs. The weather is very different here, a bit of everything, but the sun shone when we went to the beach and we were able to build the biggest and strongest castle before the tide came in, there we also get to have a walk and splash water to each other. But the fun and entertainment never finishes as each night all of us get to do a room inspection, in which we have to make our room look like the most clean in the building, and make a little entertainment for the teachers to make them give us a higher mark. The weather here is very different from the one in Barcelona, but today it looks quite hot and the sky won’t let a single drop fall out of the clouds, although usually there’s a cold wind invading the rooms and some icing drops fall out of the clouds. The food here is very nice and personally I think it’s much better than the normal school one, although we have toast and cereals for breakfast every day, they cook a small dish also, and in dinner or lunch there is lots of variation, and they normally cook for us British plates. Yesterday we got to go to a church in which some of us had a bit of an emotive time in, but it looked beautiful and transmitted a mix of joy and peace together. All of us also got a chance to feel like a monkey as we all participated in the Leap of Faith, which consisted in (wearing a helmet) throwing yourself from a tree (hold onto a rope) and trying to touch or kick a red ball further away. Another activity in which you had to work as a team was the crate building in which you had to choose a pair and together try to be the ones on top of more boxes without falling, in this moment the record has been done by Jimena and Drishti with a total of 15 and a half boxes.
