Sign up for Activities
When I arrived at Sidmouth, I was told to go into the Dining Room to
have tea, while we ate, we were told that there were various activities
that anyone could take part in, all they had to do was sign up. Soon, me
and my family were shown to our rooms, me and my mum, Sophie and Kate,
were in one room, and my grandma and brother, Mary and Matthew, were in
the bedroom next door.
Well, straight after tea I went to the notice board to sign up for
three activities drama, music, and the Talent show. The next day in drama
we performed a modern day version of Noah’s Ark which I was a narrator in.
Then I went to the music activity with a little girl called Chloe, who I
was looking after, and we were taught to do a rhythmic dance to a piece of
music. Then we discussed every day music like birds or washing machines,
after that we used musical instruments to try and make the sounds in a
story. At the end I played the viola and Chloe played the violin.
That evening, I sang a solo in the talent show, then performed with the
drama group. On Sunday, I performed with a different drama group in the
Eucharist. We did a modern day version of the Good Samaritan, and got a
lot of laughs!
When it was time to go home, I looked back on my weekend and thought
how wonderful it had been and thanked God as I had one final look at the
great building as it disappeared into the distance.
