WOW day in Magpies and Swallows as we prepare for our trek along the Amazon river.

We kick started our Amazon adventure with a special message from Ed Stafford before reading his biography and creating a mini fact file. It was then time for...

Mission 1: 'Your body is just as important as your mind'.

All the children participated in a Amazon bootcamp to prepare their bodies and minds for the difficult journey ahead. We showed resiliance and positivity.

Mission 2: 'Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.'

It was then time to pack our bags. We worked as a team to collect the equipment, decide which items were necessary and which were luxury and finally pack the equipment into the small rucksack. We demonstrated good communication and teamwork.
