We have sung, climbed, jumped, eaten, harnessed, rafted, rowed, splashed, hiked, climbed, sung, danced, laughed, climbed!, and thrown ourselves off every tree in Dalguise! Parents we are coming to get you- we might need some sleep! 😴 💤 🛌

Our last session was Survival. We learned to build shelters , light fires and make tent pegs with sticks.
P7 Day 5
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 – Disco
We danced we sang and we even took our disco outisde for a walk! Great fun on our last night at Dalguise
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 .
P7 Good Morning Day 4 from Dalguise
A beautiful morning at Dalguise, breakfast at 7.30am and now enjoying ourself at Aeroball before we head off to Abseil.
P7 Day 3 Part 2
Raft Building and Camp Fire
The sun came out and warmed us up as we had so much fun building rafts and sailing them. We also loved jumping in and getting wet too!
We headed back to get dried off and headed down for dinner.
After dinner we headed down for our campfire where we joined another school and sang together, listened to stories and then toasted marshmallows to make smores.
We are just showering and getting ready for bed. We have breakfast at 7.30am tomorrow and then another action packed day!
P7 Day 3 Part 1
Day 3 Breakfast and Morning Sessions
We had an early stay with breakfast at 7.25am. A quick change and then we headed off to go orienteering. We were very quick at this activity and our leader Jack was very impressed with our skills!
We then headed up to put our harnesses on and get ready to Zip Line down through the woods. We are so lucky with our weather although it can be a wee bit chilly in the morning.
We all enjoyed this activity and we are getting very quick at putting on our harnesses and helping each other.
A quick change and off for lunch at 12.30.
Lewis our group leader met us and took us to collect wood for our camp fire tonight. Then we did some ‘forest bathing’ and tree hugging before heading to spend some of our money in the shop.
We then joined our next activity which was the Sensory Trail . We had to follow each other and trust each other with our blindfolds on. Mrs Ross and Mrs G might have been tricking us with a wee few branches rubbing across our faces that weren’t actually there and some “rain” falling on us!
Our next session is Raft Building so we are off to put on our wet trainers and head off to build a raft together!
P7 Dalguise Day 2
Day 2
We have had a very busy day and have not been back to our dorm all day! So I am only managing to update our blog now! Sorry!
After breakfast we met our group leader, Lewis, who got us ready for our first activity of the day.
Riley was here too but she seems to have snuck our of these photos!
We started the day off with a Burn walk, we loved this activity and climbed our way up through the burn to the cairn at the top where we placed our own rock. Our feet were absolutely soaked by the end of the walk and a few of us were soaked from head to toe – I’ll let you guess who wanted to put their heads and full body under the waterfall! ??? You can maybe tell by some of these photos …
Next we headed up to the Giant Swing to put on our harnesses and get ready to swing! The weather was beautiful and the views from the top of the hill were amazing!
If you listen carefully you can still hear Mrs Ross screaming!
We then headed down to the dining hall for lunch which was pasta bolognese or vegetable ratatoullie.
After lunch we headed straight to our afternoon activities.
First of all we all took part in the Challenge Assault Course wher we had to climb, balance and scramble and then do it all again as a competition!
Next we went to the Vertical Challenge, which was like doing the assault course again but up and down the way! We are surrounded by beautiful trees and we have lots of fun climbing them, sitting on them or just admiring them!
We then went straight for dinner which we all demolished because we have been so buy all day and were starving! Macaroni cheese or Katsu Curry followed by a Brownie for dessert.
A quick change and off for our last activity of the day – Passport Around the World. Our last activity finishes at 8.30pm and then we will be showered and hopefully straight to sleep!
Today’s verdict from everyone – absolutely brilliant! We love Dalguise!!
P7 Dalguise Night 1
We had great fun taking part in Ambush. Lots of hiding and searching for each other.
We have all had showers and sitting together now having a debrief about our day. It’s been amazing fun and everyone is loving the activities and especially the food!
Lights out at 10pm tonight because breakfast is at 7.45 am! So we are up at 7am to start our day!
We will see you all tomorrow!
