How Hill by WGH and CR

on October 30, 2019

On Monday at 9am, 5M went to How Hill in The Broads.  It took one hour to get there but it was worth it. When we got there we were told the rules and unpacked our suitcases/bags.

Willow and Caitlin were in a room shared by Marnie, Isabel and Rachel! After we unpacked we had lunch.  Willow had jam sandwiches and Caitlin did too!

After lunch we went on a nature trail to the marsh.  It was kind of gross because it smelt of rotten eggs but cool!  While at the marsh/forest we played some games and spoke about the wildlife and the nature in the forest…

After around two hours later we headed back to the How Hill house.  When we came back from the marsh, we started weaving while they made dinner. It was a bit hard and not our favourite activity. They called us for dinner and it was pizza. It was delicious.

We went to our rooms and some of us had showers and some played outside. We went into our bedrooms and changed into our pyjamas. We talked until we fell asleep. Two of our roommates were talking all night!

Willow woke up at 6 in the morning, and then woke everyone else up!  I took a shower and changed into some day clothes.  We went down to the activity room and started to finish our weaving for a while, and then others watched TV.

Soon later, breakfast was ready so we all walked to the dining hall.   For breakfast, there was cereal, a cup of sugar, some butter, jam, milk and a basket of different kinds of toast. (Willow preferred the brown toast and Caitlin preferred white bread).

Soon after breakfast, we finished our weaving or some played infection outside in the garden! After that we got onto our 1st activity The boat ride across part of the broads! I went with my group and sat with my friend / roommate at How Hill Izzy! It was hilarious! We got of the boat and went to explore a shop made in an old cottage that belong to a family of eleven that lived long ago , we explored it and estimated how many people lived there (11)! We left and went to explore a real life wherry! It was brown with comfy couches, leaflets and much more!

We went back had lunch and did some more activates like Owl Dissection and stuff, then we came back for Dinner.   It was spaghetti – it was delightful!

I had a shower, changed, then went to play in the garden with them.  We played infection!  After around an hour Miss Mendham called us inside to finally go to bed!
