Seventeen children from P7MM have enjoyed a two night residential to Corrymeela on the North Coast. When we arrived on Monday we were given a warm welcome by the Corrymeela volunteers and our leader, Andy. That afternoon, we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine down at the beach where we had to get creative and build boats using pebbles, stones and seaweed. We also had a treasure hunt at the beach. On the walk back up to the beach, some of us were lucky enough to spot two seals in the water! That evening, we played some team building games and got messy making masks, ready to decorate on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, we painted our masks and learned more about our own and others’ culture and identity. We also got the opportunity to learn more about all the volunteers who come from all over the world. After dinner on Tuesday evening, everyone danced the night away at the disco and enjoyed some time playing pool and table tennis in the games room. All of the children were so respectful during our evening worship on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the children stripped and made their own beds ready for the next group. We reflected on our time at Corrymeela and had some time to take in the beautiful views before getting on the bus, ready for home!
