At 12.15 we headed back to the dining hall for lunch before heading back to the storage room to collect our luggage and head to the bus for 1p.m. Lots of the PGL leaders have commented on the excellent behaviour and manners of our group which has been really lovely to hear – we have taken our school values with us to Dalguise!
P7 – Final Evening in Dalguise
This afternoon was the first bit of rain we have seen but it did not dampen our enthusiasm.
Jacob’s Ladder was our first afternoon activity:
Hopefully you can make out everyone in these photos. What I can tell you is that most of us climbed to the very top of Jacob’s Ladder today and we were delighted with ourselves 
We waved goodbye to Mr Houston and headed off for survival skills training. We built dens and learned how to use the flint and steel to start a fire. We were all a bit cold and tired and in need of some dinner but we still all took part in this activity. We were also very excited about our disco so we wanted to get back to our dorms to get ready.
We had our final evening meal together – which was a good one – lasagna or chicken nuggets and chips , garlic bread and a waffle for pudding!
Hot showers and fresh clothes on and we were ready to party! This was also our leader, Nicole’s, last night with us . We have loved her songs, games and fun chat and we will miss her in the morning!
You can see from our photos and videos that our disco was a great night. We were also delighted to receive our PGL Certificates.
Our suitcases are packed and we are ready for our 7am start in the morning.
P7 Dalguise Day 4 Update
Sorry this blog is so late today! I know all our parents will have been checking all day! We really have not had 2 minutes to stop since breakfast this morning!
We had a long lie today and didn’t have breakfast u til 8.30! Then straight off to abseiling and archery.
We were lucky with the weather this morning and really enjoyed both morning activities.
We were so excited to see Mr Houston at lunchtime and we enjoyed having lunch with him and telling him all about our week.
Afternoon photos to follow later this evening after dinner and our final evening disco.
P7 Day 3 Dalguise Evening Update
Our afternoon activities were : Zip Line and Problem solving Activities.
Group 1 headed off up the hill to get all their kit on for Zip Line. Everyone helped each other to get ready and then headed off to zip down the line. What a beautiful day and the views were amazing at the top.
Hopefully you can spot your child’s jacket in the distance! You will certainly hear Mrs Ross’s screams!
Group 2 were busy solving lots of problems around the estate, our favourite puzzle was moving tyres from one side of the logs to the others but keeping the numbers in order. We all solved this puzzle but it took lots of teamwork!
We then swapped activities before heading back for a quick change and dinner at 6.30.pm. Dinner tonight was cottage pie, chicken tikka masala or veg korma. Pudding was wobbly jelly.
We then headed straight out for our evening activity which was great fun. We all took our torches for a “Passport Around the World” which was a scavenger hunt in the dark looking for flags and answering questions. We had great fun “flying in to the runway” to give our answers to Nicole (our group leader).
Back to our dorms at 8.30pm for showers and an evening game of monopoly before bed!
Everyone is giving everything a go and Mrs G and Mrs Ross are amazed at how brave they are. Loads of giggles and nonsense every day and smiles on their faces.
P7 Dalguise Day3 – lunchtime update
We all had a great night sleep, and got organised and up for a breakfast of bacon and hash browns , with lots of fruit and cereal at 7.30am. 9am and we were off to our first activity of the day – The Vertical Challenge! We are pros at getting our harnesses on and we spend most of our days in the air! Everyone gave this a go and some of us even made it to the top!
Next we were off on a sensory trail – this was great fun and Mrs G and Mrs Ross loved tricking everyone along the way!
Lunch was spaghetti bolognese with garlic bread or veg ratatouille which was quickly eaten and a 5 minute change of shoes before heading off to our afternoon activities.
We are busy all day long ( which is why this post is later today).
MrsG and Mrs Ross are still smiling !
2pm and we headed off to problem solving and the zip wire. Photos to follow …
P7 Day 2 Dalguise
Evening Update
We have had another full on exciting day.
The weather has been lovely and we have enjoyed the views from our huge, high up, giant swing!
Then we climbed another tree to jump off and fly our way back down.
Dinner was macaroni, katsu curry and chocolate brownie for pudding.
Our final evening activity was Real Life Cluedo with the added bonus of Mrs Ross playing one of the lead roles in the “who dunnit” mystery!
A wee late night karaoke and cup game back at our dorms finished off our day perfectly.
Everyone is asleep and getting plenty of rest before Day 3!
P 7 Dalguise Day 2 lunchtime catch up
The sun is shining and really warm. We have had an exciting morning!
Group 1 headed off to canoe while group 2 went to the challenge course. We then swapped activities.
We loved seeing the frog spawn and we couldn’t believe there were so many frogs in the lake!
You can see how much fun we are having by the smiles on our faces. We had a delicious lunch of baked potatoes or sandwiches. Then a wee sit down for 20 minutes in the sun shine before we head off for the afternoon.
We will up date you later this evening after all our activities.
