Pack holiday

We arrived in Swansea on Saturday morning where we unpacked, went into our groups of Fish, Seaweed and Shells, had a fire drill, looked around the building and unpacked.

We then went walking into Swansea with our Pocket money to go shopping, we visited McDonalds before heading back via the beach front to the Headquarters.

We all designed our own T-Shirts, made Animal Gliders and Fish Mobiles during our stay.

We went to the beach and walked to the sea with our wellies on, we played rounders, made sandcastles and wrote our names in the sand and went shell collecting.

We started to learn two dance routines, played games and had a campfire one evening.

We ate very well with Wise Owl's cooking and had cereal, crumpets, tea cakes, toast, eggy bread for our breakfasts, we had jacket potatoes, a hot buffet, a full sunday chicken roast dinner, gateauxs and cheesecakes, hot dogs and smiley faces and much much more.....

We all had a great time and the weather was lovely, so won't be long til we go on our next one now!!!
