What a fabulous day we had in our wee village today for our school excursion!
With buckets and spades at the ready, we set off to the beach for a day of splashes, sand and sun. We had such adventures with giant beachballs that tried to escape across to Ireland before Mark rescued them, body board antics and frolics in the sea.
Whilw P6 & 7 participated in their bikeability session, P1 – 5 went for wee blast at the playpark.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious pizzas and ice-creams from the Boardwalk, kindly donated by Craig Currie. Both were a big hit with hungry tummies. Mark and Mrs Henry were up and down the hill bringing supplies and Kim provided packed lunch treats. The RNLI kindly donated the use of inflatables and floatation aids. A few four legged friends joined the fun and received much pampering for their cuteness. Barbara and Mrs Ross were on-hand as part of the crew too.
The children never tired of the simple pleasures of a day at the beach, but it was soon time to head around for a free round of putting where they were treated another delicious ice-cream, eagerly wolfed down by all. Max achieved a couple of hole-in-one shots and Harry demonstrated his golfing flair.
Unfortunately, 3pm flew round and it was time to return back home. We hope the children enjoyed their day as much as the grown-ups did!
It couldn’t have been a more perfect day!
Our grateful thanks to all the members of our wonderful community who made the day so special with their kind donations and support.
