Trip to the Christmas Markets

Our last trip of the year before we took a break for Christmas was to the Christmas markets in town. 

On a wintry Thursday our Ardnashee group got to leave school and go into town to see the markets. There was a variety of stalls for us to look at and the best part was Kidz farm as we got to pet the animals. There was a Llama, a giant rabbit and a guinea pig to name a few.


As a bonus treat we all went to the Warehouse Café and got hot chocolates, tea and coffee to warm ourselves up. The group had a nice time, sitting with their friends and chatting.

After our stop in the café we went on a walk to Foyleside shopping centre to see the choirs singing for Christmas and we stopped by the sensory room to see what it was like.

This trip was definitely a highlight of our first term as the young people were confident and comfortable enough to walk around town and have a good time!
