 Blackpool  We went to the famous Blackpool Tower and took the lift to the top where we had breathtaking views. Some of us even dared to step out onto the glass viewing platform! In the Blackpool Ballroom, which dates back to 1894, some of us ventured onto the dance floor. We all enjoyed seeing the famous Wurlitzer organ which appeard from below the stage.   We visited the Sea Life Centre and saw many tropical fish, clever octopus, elegant rays, colourful reefs and much more. It was the perfect way to see the sea life without getting wet! Next it was on to the famous Madame Tussauds wax museum. We had so much fun having our photos taken with all the famous people on display.  One day we visited Liverpool. During our tour we even took in a museum which exhibited many bugs, fossils and sea life. We also learnt much about colours and science. The highlight of the day was visitin...

The festival was huge with many different areas including side stalls and shows. There were 4 different stages set for the acts to perform on and even a cinema, comedy theatre, big top and much more.   We danced in the sun on the raised platform to the sounds of Michael Kiwanuka and Laura Mvula and many more. We spent time floating from stage to stage soaking up the amazing atmosphere.   We chilled out to the music that was played in the woodland area.  Some of us lounged in the hammocks whilst others joined in with the rhythmic dancing. We all loved the various acts and wondered at the sheep that had been dyed pink.     At the shopping area we bought t-shirts, gifts and souvenirs to remember our awesome time at the fe...
