GOTCHA

The P6 pupils who had taken part in GOTCHA told the school about their experiences at the US assembly.

They explained how they had to apply to be a part of GOTCHA, saying what skills and strengths they would bring to the group.

Then they told about their training; learning how to put up a tent, to use a map and compass and to work together as a team.

Then they told us about their experiences on the overnight camping trip. They had to walk through the Bin Forest to their destination. All groups got lost at some point, but they all arrived at their destination safely. They help to cook food in the evening, and most enjoyed eating the cheesy pasta. They all enjoyed the pancakes and marshmallows! They thanked the staff and parents who helped them and who also camped overnight with them.Everyone had a great time and got a lot from the experience!

All the pupils who took part in Gotcha were given a certificate. Well done!

Gotcha!

After completing a few weeks of training, a group of intrepid P6 and 7s are leaving this Thursday for an adventure in the Bin Forest. They will be spending the day walking to their destination, using maps and compasses to find their way. Once there, they will put up their tents and camp overnight in the Bin! They will be cooking their food on a camping stove. Mr Wood, Mrs McAdam, Miss Coutts will be joining them. We are sure they will have a great time and are looking forward to hearing about their experiences.
