It's a bit quiet in the house tonight as our youngest is off on a 5 day residential field course on the island of Ameland which is located in the northern part of Holland. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to reach there from school by bus and ferry. The island faces the North Sea on one side and the so called "Wadden Sea" on the south side. The Google Earth photo shows the "Wadden Sea" which at low tides it is dry or very shallow , while with hightide it is a real sea.
There are lots of things that the kids will be doing. During the day students will be required to complete a number of activities covering a wide range of subject areas, and in the evenings there will be chance to follow up the work in groups and some social events. There will be various opportunities during the 5 days to compete for the prized team sport and “best team” trophies. Travel around the island will be by bicycle.
