Last night our Company Section and Seniors made the most of the nice weather (and Graeme's pizza oven) and made pizza 🍕.

The results were amazing (and the rest of the Leaders were very pleased that there was enough for them to enjoy too!)

Well done boys!

As we reach Good Friday, we remember that "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son" (John 3:16) - and rejoice in knowing that Jesus' death on the cross was not the end of the story 🙏

Our Anchors and Juniors were busy over the last 2 weeks creating beautiful Mother's Day cards and heart decorations for their Mums.

We hope all Mum's are having a special day today and loved their gifts.

On Saturday we hosted the Battalion Juniors Competitions Day at Emmanuel. We only had a small team of 3 but they were all superstars as you can see from all the certificates they earned!

They came...
3rd in the Handwriting Competition*
2nd in the Reading Competition, Jenga Challenge and Artwork Competition*
1st in Inspection, the Quiz and the Challenge Room

*the Handwriting and Artwork were completed by all our Juniors (even if they weren't there on the day).

Our Boys' amazing effort meant that 3rd Reading also won the Competitions Day Trophy!

Well Done Boys! We are very proud of you and all your hard work. Well done to all the other Companies from our Battalion who turned up and took part.

Thank you also to our Judges who came along to oversee the various competitions and challenges.

Tonight Anchors and Juniors learnt about David & Goliath - we watched a video of the story, created some amazingly creative artwork (in preparation for our upcoming Competitions Day) and then tried to defeat Goliath using paper cups "slingshots".

We had some very close calls and some amazing shots. Well done Boys!!!

Hannah is studying Computer Science at Reading Uni. Last year, some of the Anchors and Juniors suggested that some of her programming coursework would be really "easy", so tonight she decided to test them.

To start with, she showed them some special programming she did this last week to draw the BB logo and explained some of the code she used to do it.

Next they tried pairing computing terms with their definitions. They had to work out which were the real computer languages from a list Hannah read out and then finally the boys got to try some coding themselves, giving "Robot Neil" the commands to build a plastic cup pyramid.

By the end of the night, I think the boys realised that programming takes a bit more time & thought!!

Thinking about our Boys (and Girls in our sister GB Company) who will soon be opening A-Level results.

We hope you get the results and Uni places you are hoping for. Stay in touch and come back and see us, when you can. We'd love to hear about your next steps!

Last bedtime view from Camp. Homeward bound tomorrow morning, but for tonight, "Lights out, Campers!"
