Jigen's Residential Trip at Share Discovery Village
Share Discovery Village is the largest residential activity centre here in Northern Ireland. Its 60-acre site is situated on the shores of Upper Lough Erne outside Lisnaskea in County Fermanagh just two hours from Comber. This amazing centre offers a wide variety of great activities for children. And Jigz together with his class in P7 will have the opportunity to create wonderful memories and unforgettable experiences since this is their last year in Primary.
They were off to Fermanagh on a Monday morning 7th March for a 5-day trip. Everyone is so excited and can't wait to reach their destination and begin their adventure at Share Village. While we, parents can only wait for updates and we are very pleased that the staff and school shared us with all the things that they are doing and what they are up to on that day. As soon as they reach their place and showed in their rooms, they went straight to different activities.
I remember when I was at school we also have this residential trip called "field trip" but ours only for a day. We left school early in the morning and back home at night. We go on an educational trip, most of the time to museums and amusement parks I think the first amusement park that we went to is Star City. We live in the province and it feels like we go out of the country when we go to the city. I have many good memories of our field trips. I'm reminiscing while writing this. So before I start telling you mine, let's go back to Jigz.
I'm sharing with you all these photos that the school shared with us. I hope you can also remember your school trip and share it in the comment.

And this one in the dark. I don't know what you call it. It looks fun and you have to trust the one in front of you lol.
You can see in all the photos that they are all having a good time. They went there for adventure and surely they get what they are hoping for. And now they have an unforgettable experience that they will cherish for the rest of their life.
And here they are before they leave on Friday 11th of March, 2022 wearing the shirt that they painted. As soon as Jigz came home he was flat out!
This time, I'm writing this article for Jigz. In the future, he will see this and remind him about the wonderful adventure he had in P7!
My school trip was far from this. I wish I experienced this when I was young. How's your school trip? Do you still remember?
Thank you for reading!
Jigs looks like enjoying it...
