A world of adventures for Barnwell's Young Carers - July 2010
On a Sunny Friday at the end of term, 35 members of the Young Carers group at Barnwell School set off for Chessington World of Adventure. On entering the park the rain started to come down however this did not dampen anyone’s enthusiasm and everyone set off to see as much as they could before lunch.
The park has an array of rides, activities and a Zoo, all of which caused a great deal of laughter, screams and ooooo’s
At 5 o’clock everyone headed back to the buses, exhausted but having had a fanatic time.
