Christmas Poem

The Christmas lights twinkled,
As the children all slept.
The baubles clinked together,
As Santa slowly crept.

Presents were laid down,
And stockings were filled.
Santa laughed with glee,
The children would be thrilled.

The reindeers flew into the sky,
As Christmas morning came.
The children saw the presents,
Teddies, clothes and many games.

They were delighted with their gifts,
So they played with them all day.
They had Christmas turkey,
And wished it was Christmas everyday

The night before Christmas
Is a busy time of year.
Gifts get delivered,
The night is full of Christmas cheer.

Eve
Year 9

Llanrug Day Two & Day Three

We've had a brilliant couple of days here in Llanrug so far using Snowdonia as our playground. We have split into activity groups and tried a different activity each day. At the moment coasteering and gorge/waterfall scrambling are firm favourites, with body boarding a close runner up. As much as we hate the thought of donning wet wetsuits tomorrow, (there's no chance they will fully dry out overnight!) it's always worth it for the adventures we have - especially with the sun shining. The food is really good, even if we do have to set the tables, clear plates, serve one another, wash up, sweep and clean for every meal. Got to go now - the football has just started. I'll just leave you with an anecdote from Group One today: Mr. Taylor tried his hand at abseiling and, to the amusement of all the students, managed to abseil himself right into a hole in the rock face! Luckily the students were on hand to point out the hole...after he ended up in it. Fun times!

Llanrug Day One

It's Day One and we've all arrived safely. Lots of students were really excited to check out the 'pool room' at the centre. After the initial disappointment wore off upon discovering that this was a reference to a pool table, and not the imagined swimming pool, we all settled into our rooms. Dinner was eaten and chores were done - oh yes, chores! Some training in this area is still needed, but we have all week to practise cleaning skills. We then went orienteering around a big lake and everyone is now settling in for the night. Night! P.S. E veryone says, "Hi Mum - having fun!"
