CM1 School Trip in KILLARY 

Wednesday 26th May 2010
Good morning Parents,
Today, we fought with lazer guns, went ziplining, bog jumping and a game with tyres. There was also a « pirate island ».
Bog jumping is the best. We jump in the mud and we had to walk in it. It was so much fun but some did not jump in it.
KILLARY IS FUN !

Good morning Parents,
We woke up at 8 in the morning. We got dressed then had our breakfast. After, we went climbing on an 18 meters high climbing wall! We went hiking through the gorge with special outfit and after that we ate our lunch.
We ate sandwiches. Then we did archery and guidance. We had a snack: an apple with a mars bar, snickers or a twix! Now we are going to eat dinner, take a shower, put on on pyjamas and go to bed at 9.30pm. It was so much fun!

Dear parents, below is a message written by the children:
We arrived safe and sound. The bus ride was nice; we watched two movies, SpongeBob Squarepants and Georges of the Jungle. We took a break at 3pm to eat a snack.
We arrived in Killary adventure at 5.02pm.
When we arrived, an animator gave us a card pass to enter our bedroom. Each pupil went in his room and organised his things.
Diner was great, we had spaghetti bolognese and for dessert we had ice cream and a fruit salad.
Today, we are going to take a tour and look at all the activities.
We love it here!
