Tonight, the children decided they wanted to reflect on the week and tell you what they have enjoyed before they get back tomorrow, so here we go….

Broomley Grange comments 2016

Climbing high in the trees really challenged me. Kacey

The best part of Broomley Grange was climbing high in the trees and on the tight-ropes. Harvey

Overall, my opinion of Broomley Grange would be amazing! The food was great, all the activities were good but finally the staff and trainers were really nice and they helped me with my phobias. It was great! Taylor

Broomley Grange is good! I really liked the assault course and the zip wire because I was a little bit nervous on the zip wire but when I got used to it, I was really good. Brian

What I enjoyed the most was the food but really I enjoyed everything so on a score of 1 to 10, it’s a 10 by far! I really think we should keep the visit to Broomley Grange because it is such good fun. I really enjoyed my week. Ben

Whoever reads this: Broomley Grange has been the best experience of my life. Yes, you do miss your parents but when you get home you can tell them all about it.
The best thing was the zip wire because you could hang upside down. I loved the archery too even though I did not score any points. Emma

This is the best place ever! The food is amazing and the food is even better. I wish I could come again. Sophie

I have had the time of my life and eaten such gorgeous food. Fraser
My favourite time was when we were bringing back trees to build shelters in Camp Skills. Everything else was really fun. Kyle

The instructors and staff of Broomley Grange said that they had never met such a polite and helpful set of children. The instructors found Marsden children supportive and very encouraging of each other when taking part in the many activities.

Well, what more can we say than: looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Just opened my email to receive a surprise message direct from Broomley:

Hi its Jackie the cook from Broomley ,just wanted to say what a lovely bunch of kids you have ,there manners were lovely with please and thankyous from them all, will miss them ,hope they enjoyed themselves and have lots of happy memories of their time with us love Jackie x 

We know our children are special, but it is lovely to hear other people think it too!

The children woke up a little tired this morning – but I guess that is only to be expected with all of the activities!

Today was a mix of Assault course, craft skills and bowling.

Everywhere the group has been , the behaviour has been commented on – they are a credit to their parents and the school.

Well, last night the kids were amazing – all slept…yes you read that correctly AND all woke up with smiles on their faces!!

So, today was a mixture of two activities – a fantastic and informative trip to Hexham Abbey, followed by a canoeing session up the River Tyne.

Everybody enjoyed the sunshine and learnt new and exciting skills.

By the time they returned to Broomley, they were ready for their well deserved tea.

After a successful journey, day one has been action packed.

Do you think we will sleep tonight……I doubt it!!
