Episode 8
From Inside the Dorm
‘Boredom is beneficial for children. It forces them to pause, giving their brains space to breathe… allowing them to improve their internal locus of control, build resilience, foster independence and encourage persistence’.
With that said, the boat of boredom distinctly afloat, this past Sunday the children enjoyed their hearty brunch.
“What are we doing today?” came the questions. Well, for a start, a Polar Bear swim… and that was all the convincing most of them needed. Bravely, many of them took the plunge and ticked off a Clifton Tradition.
The afternoon was filled with chatting, and zip-line races at the obstacle course and a FIFA tournament for the boys.
Looking back on the whirlwind ten weeks, it’s hard to believe how much we’ve squeezed into such a short space of time. From busy weekdays to action-packed weekends; there has never been a dull moment.
Have a restful holiday with family and friends.
