The teachers woke us up this morning with some ok music.
We had half an hour to get ready and down for breakfast at 8.30am. We enjoyed some porridge, cereal and fruit. After that we had our first dorm inspection.
Then we got ready to go our Hillwalk. Almost everyone fell asleep on the bus heading TO Loch Doon – before we even climbed the hill! We got to Loch Doon and we climbed Knocknearie Hill, walked along Ness Glen and visited Dalcairney Falls.
We had macaroni and garlic bread for dinner followed by apple crumble and custard. Some people had some fruit too.
Tonight we learned a bit more about John Muir and enjoyed a fun games night.

We are delighted to share the lovely news that Miss McLean is the proud mum to a beautiful baby girl called Ellis.
Ellis arrived safely on Saturday 30th December, weighing 8 lbs 4 oz and both mum and baby are doing well. Ellis is just perfect x

We are also glad to welcome Miss Paton into P4/5 for the rest of the session as she is covering Miss McLean’s maternity leave.
Welcome to #Team Catrine, Miss Paton 🙂
In our January Home Circles we highlighted Article 32 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that children and young people should not be able to work until they reach a certain age. In Scotland, children are not allowed to do almost any kind of work until they are 13, and rules about the work that children can do remain in place until the age of 18.
Our questions were –
Why do you think there are rules in place about children working?
Why do you think these rules need to be there?
Take a look through our answers in our Home Circle jotters …
