What a fantastic first day!
Grade 4 had an incredible time today exploring Bait Al Naman Castle in Barka. We had a wonderful tour guide who showed us the features and details of a traditional Omani castle. Highlights included a peek of the jail, a demonstration of khanjar knife, sitting rooms with antique tea services, and traditional wedding jewelry. The weather was lovely and the children enjoyed walking around the grounds.
After the visit in Barka, we checked in to our hotel and made our way over the beach at Shatti al Qurm. The kids had a blast! They splashed in the water, made sand castles, played football, ran in relay races, and just enjoyed having some free play. We ate dinner at a tasty pizza place and made our way back to the hotel to get settled in for the night.
Everyone is already pretty tired and ready for a long night sleep for our big day tomorrow.
Here is the link to a web album containing some photos from the day. I’ll be adding more throughout the evening as the upload speed is quite slow!
