School Residentials

[CHEK]

Well both my darling DD's are fast asleep in great anticipation for their residentials tomorrow

And YES they are both going to be away on the same night and NO they are not in the same school year, BUT they do attend the same school Our eldest is off for 2 nights and our youngest is away for 1.

Their bags are all sorted and it look's like they're going away for at least a week, what with spare outfits, Wellies etc....

Just put a little pic of the 4 of us in their suitcases, with a little goodnight note

I've just come back as a member of staff from a residential trip. We had a lovely time but please don't put notes or photos in their cases as they triggered homesickness in quite of lot of the children on our trip.

Hi Libby, I appreciate what your saying, but my DD's love to have a little family picture to take with them, just so they can give each of us a little kiss goodnight

And the note tells them to have fun, and to remind each of them of a little thing, like cleaning their teeth....

This isn't their 1st trip away with school & I'm pretty sure they're both having such a wonderful time

They were all year 3s and it was their first trip away. We had half a dozen upset by their notes and another group that were upset that they didn't get a note when the others did!

All in all it was wonderful trip - it was just bedtime that was a little emotional. We solved this by reading a bedtime story by torch light until all the children were asleep (8 chapters of the Faraway Tree!)

Karen - did your girls have a good time?

Well youngest DD is home, and she had a fab time, she tell's me she was the 1st to sleep and the last one awake this morning... (when she want's to sleep, Nothing & I mean nothing will stop her )

She took a camera and I laughed when she showed me her photo's, we have a picture of a bowl of weetabix, beans on toast, toast with jam & a cup of apple juice (do you think she's seen too many pics of food on here!! )

Anyway after a bath and hairwash, she eventually gave up and fell asleep at 8
Eldest DD return's tomorrow

Well our eldest DD is back and she had a lovely time, apart from the "awful food" as she put's it (she is a fussy madam!), most of us wouldn't mind bacon and sausages for breakast but not my DD's

She's been doing loads of activities including, zipwire, archery, abseiling to name but a few, in total they did 9 different activities

She's now fast asleep in bed after a good soak in the bath

It's great to have both my DD's home though

Our eldest is shattered but she loved everything except the BMX bikes (boring!!) , I think we may find it difficult to drag her out of bed in the morning

I know!, I bet her teacher's wondered what on earth she was doing?, but I can imagine her saying well they all do it on the Disboards
