And as our kids were on mid-term break, it was also the ideal time to get out an enjoy the sand and the sea.
Volunteers Aleka Quintana and Fabiola Matute, Ally and Fab to the kids, plus teachers and house aunties supervised the outing making sure that everyone was safe and sound on the walk to and from the beach and whilst they were there.
It is quite an expedition, and they went early so the children could enjoy themselves before the sun became too intense and they were all home well in time for lunch and tired out!
