Day 2

In the morning we walked into to local town, Rue, in four groups. We learned how the chateau was occupied by the Germans during the second world war and heard the sad story of an elephant who was killed by the locals and buried by the chateu entrance. Each group had two staff from the centre, who gave us a very interesting tour with a welcome drink of hot chocolate half way round - it was very cold. The tour ended with a quiz/trail. After lunch, the children did 2 of 4 activities (they will do the other 2 tomorrow). Depending on the group they were in they did zip wire, abseiling, archery and obstacle course. The zip wire and abseil were really high and took a lot of courage for some of the children to do them. In the evening, the children enjoyed a quiz.
