They were allowed to bring a special cuddly toy from home as part of their baggage allowance, had their own passports and were even checked by security!
This week they made their own volcanoes using baking soda and vinegar and watched as they erupted! The children were fascinated with how volcanoes are formed and through their research found that there are no active volcanoes in England but there are two in Italy!
