More end-of-term fun!

The fun didn't stop after Wednesday's trip to the safari park! In fact we had a fun-filled last day of term too, although it turned out slightly differently from how we'd planned! The lovely Su who organised the trip also booked a bouncy castle to come to the school for the day. It arrived and was set up, and the bouncing began! However, not very long afterwards... the power went off! Disaster!

However, all was not lost. The guys who brought the bouncy castle had so many other tricks up their sleeves! First, they painted the children's faces:

They played loads of games with the children, such as 'What's the time Mr Lion/Mr Cheetah/Mr Tiger?', which went down very well, as you can see from this little video clip:

They also put on a puppet show, which the children (and adults!) loved!

We all had a fun time, despite the lack of power. It was nice to have time just sitting and playing with the children on the last day. Here's a cheeky little one who climbed on my knee and stole my hat!

At the end of the day we gave each child a knitted teddy bear which had been donated by some very kind ladies back in the UK. The children were really happy - and we saw one who willingly handed over all her other things to her mum but kept a very tight hold on the bear!

Oh, and one other postscript to the day: for various reasons there was a muddle over paying the bouncy castle guys, but later they said that they didn't want any payment, it was their way of giving something back! So hopefully we may book them for another day of fun for next term!
