We had a very busy day out: swimming at Loudoun Academy, lunch in Galston and a countryside walk back to Hurlford along the Chris Hoy cycle path.

We all loved using flippers in the swimming pool!  They made us swim faster and felt funny to walk in.  Some of us ventured up to the deep end for the first time.  It was also fun diving in and trying the reach the bottom of the pool.

After swimming we walked to Aroma Coffee Shop in Galston and had a delicious lunch.  The wrap pizzas were a big hit!  Everything looked and tasted great; we loved watching the food being prepared. We were even shown how to operate the till and allowed to type in the orders.  Thank you to Aroma Coffee Shop for showing us some super work place skills.

After lunch, we headed over to Candy Coated Café for a wee ice-cream treat.  There were so many flavours to choose from: irn bru, strawberry cheesecake, bubblegum, chocolate…   We all enjoyed the flavours we chose!

Fueled up, we headed for the cycle path and made our way back to Hurlford.  With the sun out, it was a lovely walk and we had fun spotting all the different nature that was around; we saw butterflies, ladybirds, birds, cows and lots of different plants.  We all did really well on the walk as it was quite a long way!
