What an unforgettable day Willow Class had as we glided (and occasionally stumbled) into the magical world of ice skating at Alexandra Palace! This grand venue lived up to its regal name, providing the perfect backdrop for an adventure filled with laughter and excitement.
The fun began with the clatter of skate blades and the tentative first steps onto the rink. Brave hearts of all sizes—children and adults—took to the ice, ready to conquer the challenge. What followed was a delightful mix of impressive glides, wobbly twirls, and, let’s be honest, a fair share of tumbles! Even I joined the action, though my attempt at a graceful pirouette ended with a dramatic, and slightly bruised, reminder of just how solid ice can be! (Spoiler: it’s very solid!)
But the real magic of the day wasn’t just in the skating—it was in the joy and camaraderie. From giggles echoing across the rink to the shared triumphs of letting go of the safety rail, every moment sparkled.
To top it all off, we warmed up with steaming cups of hot chocolate, swapping stories of daring escapades (and some near-miss wipeouts) while our rosy cheeks and wide grins told the true tale of the day: a joyous adventure we’ll all treasure.
