# Swallows and Amazons Adventure

What an amazing day!

Big Thank Yous go out to...

Coniston Launch, particularly Captain Robert (our fantastic tour guide), Captain Scott (our helmsman) and First Mate Robbie;

Dan and Clive from real adventure (our canoe instructors);

Keith Myers for his fantastic ROV (ask your child what it stands for) filming and production;

Mrs Riseley and Mrs Leitch (our reluctant, now converted, canoers);

Mrs Bell for all her input and organisation;

Year 5 for being the most amazing class ever and rising to all the challenges presented to them!

We started the day with an amazing cruise on the Coniston Launch. After lunch we canoed to "Wildcat Island" where Dan and Clive led us in firelighting and shelter building activities.

Look out for more photos as I get them....
