Excitement for Juniors at Garvaghy Once again a new school term has started, this means another CE year has to begin. As always Dad likes to start of a new CE year with a new activity to get everyone in the mood for CE.
This is to start our CE off, we all came down to the farm. In Church there was an announcement made “bring wellies, wear old clothes and wrap up warm” This gets all the young children excited they never know what’s going to happen at Fedany! Tuesday the 3rd of October came. Everything was getting exciting. I had to go help my dad on the farm to get him cleared up for 7. It was tight but we made it! 7 o’clock came, cars started to come down the lane. We got everyone into the top calf house and Dad explained what was going to happen. The first activity was a treasure hunt, we had to go around the farm and find out different things from around the farm e.g. how many round bales are sitting around the farm and how many cows are in the shed etc. The first team back with all the right answers got a packet of sweets.
The second challenge was to bring back objects to the calf house for example a nail, some oats and other objects. Again first team back and with the right objects won. There were different leaders standing around the yard to keep an eye on things.
To finish off the night we played hide and seek on the farm, it was dark so the leaders found it harder to find us all. Once they found us we got a bit wet! Yes they had water pistols! Everyone was found but Ellie and Aimie and they just got fed up hiding! THE IRISH ENDEAVOURER
