Day 5
Some more pics from the last few days. Thanks for all the comments, we really enjoyed reading them.
Day 4
Finlay has not been eating as much porridge as usual (only two bowls!)
Shoutout to Tony and Fiona for cooking great breakfasts!
The leap of faith was excitingly scary because the totem pole wobbled and the pizza box was tiny. The aim was to hit the piñata as hard as you could to try and get the sweets out.
Logan says hi. Finlay,Robbie,Abbie,Jen,Emily and Gene say hi too.
The Victorian house trail was long and confusing but everyone finished it. Afterwards we had to draw/make a Victorian family. One group drew them and another made them out of snow, one of the snow people/dogs made was Jim.
We found out about the Catarans who stole cattle from all the crofters in raids. We pretended we were being raided and the last people to get down lost cattle.
In the evening the moon up close through the telescope looked like a beehive.
And we all finished off the trip with some campfire songs and some popcorn.
Natalie, Hannah and Rachael have been really great tutors!
Day 3
Cooked breakfast was the best, especially the bacon and tattie scones. Finlay liked the porridge – all three bowls.
Lots of invertebrates were caught during the pond and river dipping including, ‘Barry, Garry, Larry, Brian and Dave’! Picture to follow.
In the crate climbing the record was 11, set by Eleanor and Fraser. The worst was 2, by Callum and Lucas but they enjoyed their manly hug.
Our arty sides came through in the environmental art activity. Some of the things made were: penguins, Olaf, food, a garden gnome, a snake, the local river and a mini Eco world.
Unfortunately the traps were empty, we’ll try again tomorrow.
The night hike started off scary, especially with Mrs Paterson hiding in the bushes, but with torches on and everyone making a racket we were more scary than anything else on the hill.

PS fab cakes, love ’em.
Day 2
Big breakfast and an early start for the climb up Kindrogan Hill. Good fun and we made a scientific survey of the temperature, humidity, wind speed and altitude using various scientific instruments. On the way down we made shelters in the woods. After all that there was a welcome stop for tea and scones before heading back out to tackle the low ropes course. Setting small mammal traps tonight, hopefully we’ll see something in them tomorrow morning. (Having trouble uploading pics, watch this space)
Day 1.
After a good journey in the sunshine with the children singing all the way we arrived in time for lunch, got the beds made then outside for team building tasks.
In the evening we went orienteering in the dark, great fun.

Hi Everyone
I am really missing the outdoor learning and wish that I could have spent a longer time with you all at Kindrogan. I’m surprised that you didn’t manage to catch anything in your traps. I hope you can attract some mammals when you set your traps tonight.
