Final thoughts from the children

I have really enjoyed the climbing and abseiling activity and the swinging rope on the obstacle course. I wish I could stay a little longer because I’ve really liked being back with my friends from SARA again.
Saskia Wells.

It has been so much fun and I’ve done things I never imagined like climbing/abseiling and I’ve swam in the sea for the very first time! I have really got to know my room mates well and made new friends. My archery has really come on and I would love to come again…please Mr Gale and Mrs Jones!!
Aisha Omidiya.

I have been very happy here but did get a little nervous and homesick sometimes. My room mates were really good to me and made me feel better. My favourite activity was Archery, I got 2 golds! I’m ready to leave though as there ‘Is no place like home!’
Jenna Alireza.

I am ready for home because I have missed my TV! I enjoyed the climbing and abseiling and breakfast was just the best!
Farah Abdelhamed.

We went to Royal Beach and I really enjoyed building the raft but we didn’t work well as a team. Last night we had a Talent Show and that was really funny. I have had the best time ever!
Yaminda Maritz.

I would like to say that all the activities have been great but the best was Archery even though I have to wear my pants on my head at lunchtime today because I missed the target! Tee Hee!
Livvy Campbell.

All the activities were really good and I’ve had lots of fun. I’ve made new friends from SARA and I got to know my room mates well even though Mrs Jones said we had the ‘smelliest’ room ever! The best activity was mountain biking because it was fun jumping and I liked riding round the sand.
Matt Robin.

For the first time ever, I am lost for words!! Everything has been so much fun, especially climbing and abseiling because I’ve got over my fear of dangling over the top of the building!! I’m so not ready to go home!
Mel Addis.

It has been fun staying in North Star with my friends and teachers. I just don’t want to leave. I have scored golds in the Archery and enjoyed the climbing wall.
Our cabin was a complete mess, noisy and very smelly…that’s boys for you!
Usman Abbasi.

The trip has been amazing even though I had to live in a small cabin without an ensuite! The food has been yummy, especially the chocolate cake. Last night’s Talent Show was better than TV!!
Ali Sheikh.

The obstacle course was extreme, especially the rope bridge and Zip-line. The beach was beautiful and our raft floated like a cruise liner. I just wish we could stay longer.
Raabia Ahmad.

I have managed to make new friends and had a fun time. It has been very tiring and the abseiling was frightening but I was so proud of myself because I did it!
