Loch Insh Watersports
A couple of weeks a go the majority of the P7s went of for a week up to Loch Insh near Aviemore.
They had all been looking forward to this trip for months and the expections were way past met.
To get in the ‘holiday mood’ they stopped off at the park in Aberlour to have a snack and a play. It was excellent fun and they were already enojoying their selfs before they even got there. They arrived at Loch Insh around lunchtime. They had their lunch and a stretch of their legs after the journey and then it was straight into it.
To make it easier the 2 classes were split into 4 groups called starfish, sharks, octopi and dolphins. They each did different activities. In one day the groups did 3 different activities in one day. So of course that meant a lot of food. Everybody thought the food was delicous and enjoyed it a lot.
Some of the activities were, problem solving, raft building, wind surfing, walking ,mountain biking, archery, boat tour, canoeing , kayaking, orienteering, paddle boarding and a disco on the Thursday evening which was great fun and many people went into the water that evening. As well as all that great fun was had in everybodys free time. Such as playing football, playing with bouncy balls, cards, music quizzes, games and going to the play parks.
To everybodys disapointment they had to go home on the Friday afternoon. Unsurprisingly after all that quite a lot of people were sleeping on the bus on the way home!!

Over the past five weeks P7M have had a student teacher. Miss Stuart left on Friday. During her stay she organized a dance club 2 lunch times a week and on Friday all the groups from the club performed in front of P7M and P6/7A.
We are all sorry to say goodbye, though hopefully she will be joining us at Loch Insch for a day.

As usual, the Christmas parties were a great success.
Primary 1 to 6 held their parties in the large hall, taking part in social dances, which they had been learning in the preceding weeks, and games.
The primary 7 dance was held in the evening. P7s and their guests had great fun dancing The Gay Gordons, Boston Two Step, The Dashing White Seargant and many other dances. They enjoyed refreshments of sausage rolls, crips and jelly and ice cream, and then returned to more energetic dances and games!
