The Eden Project Competition.
In October, foster carers local to Devon
and Cornwall, with children in placement
between the ages of 6-12 years, were contacted
by the Fostering Network to see if the
children would like to take part in a Storytelling
Event at the Eden Project.
We had a number of foster carers let
us know they were interested, but, due
to the over whelming response, only the
first family who replied from each fostering
agency or LA, was able to attend. The
carers of a sibling group in North Devon
were lucky enough to respond first and
the children have written about their
day out in January, on the following
page.
The other carers who responded were
also lucky enough to receive a year’s
pass to the Eden Project, which they
are delighted with.
Please make sure you keep an eye on
the fostering network website, as they
often run competitions and are a useful
resource for the latest up to date information
on fostering.

Ecstatic Eden Event
“We traveled for a long time but
it was worth EVERY second.
When we got there, we slurped down a
juicy lemon drink. We wandered about,
exploring the amazing projects. Then
we zoomed to a workshop, which told fab
stories in an enchanting way. YUM! – A
really delicious hot lunch next! After
that a ‘story box’ workshop – I
still got mine! Then we zipped around
the Bio Spheres. We met Dave the ‘Spice
man’. Next we clambered down to
the ice skating rink to have a rather
slippery skate. Well what a day!!!”
Eden Project Trip
“The best bit about the Eden project
was the Ice- Skating Rink. I think the
chocolate man was cool. I was stunned
to see the wild theme thing. It was like
an exotic jungle.
There was a tea table. We had some proper
sour lemon juice, YUCK!!! I hated it!
It was so horrible. Instead I acted like
a lady because we got a cup of tea, actually
half a cup.
I liked the story telling Event. It seemed
so real! There was a long way to walk
but I didn’t care. When we got
home it was my bedtime.
Eden Project
“On the 12th of January, I had
a brilliant time at Eden. Inside, the
mysterious domes contained jungles to
Deserts and Polar regions. The Magic
of the storytelling and the Ice-skating – It
was a great day and I enjoyed everything”
