On Thursday 20 June, Year 2 at DUCKS wended their way via coach to Joss Bay in Kent. There was a bit of a breeze and a cloudy sky but the sun did peak out eventually! Once at the beach, a spot was found and seagull patrol was set up. The children enjoyed playing cricket and football with Mr Davy and building sandcastles.
When tummies started to grumble, it was time for a picnic on the sand. The teachers were on seagull alert to ensure no sandwiches were snatched! After they had eaten their packed lunch the children went back to playing. Shortly thereafter, the adults and children headed down to the sea shore for some paddling. There was a lot of laughter and fun had as the children jumped over the waves and got fairly soggy! Luckily a spare change of clothes had been packed by all.
Once changed and dry, Year 2 helped the grownups with the packing up and headed back to school. The coach was filled with the happy chatter of many after a good day had. Soon the noise died down and there were lots of lolling heads gently snoring, the true sign of a great day out had by all.
