Time to breathe, finally.

Time to breathe, finally.

The busiest period of the St Madoc Centre’s year, the School Summer Term, has begun. Schools from all over Swansea will be visiting us over the next two months, and our staff will be entertaining the pupils with outdoor activities like beach scavenger hunts, wide games in the woods and shelter building.

We’re currently two weeks into the Summer Term and we've already had nearly 150 children visit us, from years 3 to 6. It’s been hard, but incredibly rewarding, work. I think it’s safe to say that this period of frantic activity is my favourite time of the year, putting smiles on the faces of children is one of the many perks of working where I do.

 The weather has not been especially helpful so far, but the forecast for the coming weeks is good, and we’re hopeful our stock of water-balloons will get used at some point. We have managed to get to our beautiful beach with every class so far, and we have been caught in the rain once or twice whilst there, but that just made us appreciate the sun more when it clambered out from behind the clouds.

After those frantic two weeks we’ve now got a week off, without a group on site, to prepare for our first class to stay for the full week. I’m sure I’m not the only member of staff who’s glad of the rest…
