Today the students enjoyed their non academic day!
In the morning, everyone hopped on the buses and headed out to Laura Estate where many local herbs, trees, flowers etc are grown. They gave us a tour of the gardens... it was amazing to see, smell and taste the variety of plants there!
Walking the gardens built up our appetite, so we headed back to campus for lunch and to get ready for afternoon activities. Some students left to learn how to dive... Mr. Henry was one of them!!! We divided the remaining students onto two ships, Starwind and Shadowfax, and headed out into the ocean for a day of snorkeling.
The weather was very overcast and we were keeping our fingers crossed the weather would hold out for the remainder of the boat ride... We weren't so lucky. About halfway through the first reef, the skies opened up and it poured! Luckily the students were already wet from being in the water! HA! The rain didn't last terribly long, and we were able to have a nice sail back to the beach.
After dinner, students were divided again. This time, several students went to become CPR certified while the others played some outdoor games (relay races, dodgeball) Tomorrow evening, the groups will switch and the gamers will go to CPR and vica versa.
