P7 VexGo Competition
What a brilliant day we had taking part in the Loudoun Education Group VexGo Ocean Exploration Competition.
After an exciting introduction from Blair Wilson from the Robotarium at Herriot Watt University, and meeting Spot the Robot Dog, we got ready to practise our driving and coding skills ready to compete against Galston, Hurlford, Darvel and Newmilns Primary Schools.
We were very excited to be the top placed coders and very close second placed drivers during the morning competitions.
After lunch Linda MacAuley Griffiths came to visit and learn from all the competitors. She was very impressed with how knowledgeable we all were and she said she could feel the buzz of excitement in the hall.
After a full day of competing we were absolutely delighted to have come 2nd place. It was very tight between 1st and 2nd place and although we scored the same amount of points as Darvel Primary, they pipped us to the post by being 6 seconds faster than us overall.
We were absolutely over the moon to win £80 in prize money and we have starting planning our budget to spend on treats before the end of term.
Well done to our chosen Best Team Player, voted by her fellow team mates, who also received a £10 gift voucher.
A brilliant transition event before we head off to Loudoun Academy with our fellow competitors!
Mrs Ross was very proud of our excellent digital skills, support for each other and kind and positive attitude to all the other schools competing! Well done P7!

After breakfast we headed to take part in Jacob’s Ladder Session. Everyone still had enough energy to put on their harnesses and climb to the top. We even beat the Jacob’s Ladder fastest time to the top!

P7 Dalguise Day 4
We loved our abseiling session. The sun was shining and we all climbed to the top of the tower and most of us abseiled down.
After abseiling we went for lunch and then our second trip to the shop to spend the rest of our money. We enjoyed a wee ice cream in the sunshine.
We climbed back up another hill! to start our Laser Tag activity. Mrs G was a pro at this!
Our second afternoon activity was Trapeze. The leaders have commented on how well behaved our group is and how quick we are at putting on our harnesses now.
Mrs G and I are so impressed with how brave everyone is and how well everyone supports each other.
More videos of abseiling to follow later – we have been super busy today and we are just about to head back out for our Disco .
