Arrival @ the hall of Padbury Catholic Primary School

Eager faces greeted the Riverlites in Padbury Catholic ... while every Riverlite was busy preparing their own name tags.

Getting to know you .. .getting to know all about you ...

Round robin games ~ our Riverlites get to play many different games organised by the school and had fun with their Australian buddies.

"Jailer and Prisoner" ~ game of speed and alertness

The most exciting part of it ... "Sockit' ~ Game invented by the Australians, a combination of soccer and netball rules!

The line-up ......

You start the game!

 Give me the ball!!!

 Who should I pass to? I'm lost ... Where's my team?

 Go for it, Zhi Le!

Taking a break after all the strenous activities and games ...

Tour of the school ~ conducted by the Australian pupils for our Riverlites

 Can you read the map?

 The clue!

The search is on!

Finally, the Amazing Race ended and Riverlites were having great fun at the playground before their lunch arrived.

 We love the nature ... Awesome!

 Not forgetting to spend some time at the playground in the park before going back to hotel.

Our last dinner before checking out of the hotel tomorrow ... it was really filling as we had 2 portions each.

The day ended early at 8.15 pm. All the Riverlites had their debrief and was up in their rooms frantically packing their luggage to check out tomorrow. Everyone was really looking forward to the farm stay tomorrow night! By 9.30 pm, our Riverlites were already drifting into dreamland ... zzzzzzzzzz!
