Planning Day 2 completed and we are ready to go... Almost.

One of the main things we learnt from our practice expedition is that we need to plan a lot more so we have met up twice now to plan plan plan every aspect of our expedition including activities to make sure the kids are kept entertained, a food rota, cleaning rota, and every other rota you can think of!

We have made up our own games to keep the kids entertained such as leaf sketching, street bingo and treasure hunts so we hope to add these to the long list of planned activities we have arranged in Holland such as exploring castles, lighthouses and flower fields!
