Year 3 Visits Ol Maisor

Year 3 had a wonderful trip to Ol Maisor. Over the three days we took part in so many varied and interesting activities.

We began on Sunday with a mini football tournament against a local school; Island Primary, and Team Duma were triumphant! The following days were spent tracking animals, learning about footprints, droppings and other clues to which animals had been in the area. We were lucky to see sniffer dogs in action and learnt how they help in the conservancy as well as in the community.

We made our own fishing rods and tried them out at a nearby dam, where Nilo, Robin and Mr Isaac were successful, catching tilapia and catfish. On Monday afternoon we were refreshed by swimming in a dam with tubes, with lots of laughter and fun as we cooled down under the hot sun. As the sun began to set, we were treated to a game drive on the way back to camp.

The last day we walked around the farm, some of us milked some goats, learnt about how to dry maize and then experienced a combine harvester in action as we were given the opportunity to ride in one!

Throughout the trip we enjoyed delicious meals cooked by our Pembroke chefs, Daniel and Fosteen. Thank you to Mr Isaac and Mr O’Sullivan, who joined us and helped make the trip such a success, and to Isaac for driving the bus safely there and back. Finally a big thank you to all at Ol Maisor who also contributed to it being such a success.

Well done to all of Year 3 for being fantastic on this trip. Lots of happy memories were made together!
