“On Halloween morning, the whole of Kilchrenan school went out for a walk. We didn’t know where we were going. There was lots of lovely coloured leaves on the trees. Then we got to Taychreggan Hotel and Mr Dickie joked with us that we’d gone the wrong way. We went into the hotel and met a lady dressed up for Halloween. She took us into the lounge and gave us hot chocolate and goodie bags with sweeties. Darth Vader brought us lots of cupcakes and chopped up apples. We had our photo taken with staff from The Taychreggan who were all dressed up. We felt amazed by the surprise and it was nice of them.”
Report by Logan, Sarah and Thom, with just a little support from Ms Stewart.
“We are very grateful for this wonderful surprise party thrown for us by the staff, and we will be inviting them to be our guests when we cook our own Christmas dinner on the last day. Our partnership with this hotel has provided real benefits for the pupils and staff: a garden space to develop, greenhouse space and work experience for P7s in their final term.” – Graham Dickie, Headteacher Kilchrenan Primary School.
