Yesterday we visited Belvedere House and Gardens and took part in an amazing quest around the park! 🏰🌿 We explored the history of the estate while completing fun challenges as a team. One of the most interesting stops was the Jealous Wall, the largest folly in Ireland. It was built by Robert Rochfort, the 1st Earl of Belvedere, to block the view of his brother George’s house after a bitter family feud. We even acted out a dramatic photo about jealousy and revenge! 😱📸
As we continued, we walked through the woodland looking for different plants and animals, visited the magical Fairy Garden to write a short poem, and explored the beautiful Walled Garden while solving a puzzle. 🌳🧚♀️🌺 Every station made us work together, be creative, and pay attention to the amazing nature around us. It felt like a real adventure!
Our final challenge took us to the lakeside, where we raced against the clock to complete five different tasks. 🦆💦 We counted benches, spotted a water bird, found a feather, took a jumping team photo, and described the sound of the lake in just one word. It was such a fun day full of teamwork, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We can’t wait for the next adventure! ✨
