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!!

Football Club can’t wait until Spring!

Gordon Primary football club has a good team of students from Gordon Primary School. Commonly about 13 people come to the club, but there used to be about 17 people who used to come to the club. Ecstatic Mr Lumsden can’t wait until spring so they can go down to the football pitch. The football club has a waiting list so no more people can sign up. The club is for pupils from P4 to P7. It starts at 4:00 and it finishes at 5:00. Gordon Primary is going to start a tournament at this school. The last tournament was in 2013 in August.
