Yesterday, we met some of the most weird and wonderful creatures you can ever see include a beautiful meerkat and a smelly skunk! We got to touch and stroke them, let them run across our legs and learn all about where they live and what they eat. It was really informative and even a bit creepy when we saw spiders and snakes!!
This half term has seen record breaking numbers at Cross Keys for October with children taking part in our art, drama, sport and apprentices groups for five days of fun! (more…)
We have only just stopped crying long enough to type a message to everyone to say our goodbyes to our online blog for this summer. It was an amazing last night! The show and disco were fantastic with plenty of dancing, singing and gunging of leaders!!
Thanks to everyone involved for a wonderful XUK 2010, including all our amazing campers, the stunning staff team, the lovely New Eccles Hall School staff, our brilliant instructors including fencing, taekwondo and archery and even our friendly Galloways coach drivers! We will miss seeing everyone so much! It’s only 364 days left until camp starts again, not that we’re counting!!
