Our adventure may have been cut short due to Storm Bram but we still had a ball! We crammed so much into day two including the chance to explore brand new caves, navigate tight crawls and hear spooky stories in the darkness. We did some bush crafts, using flints to light fires and toast marshmallows, then we hit the beach to wave jump. It was an adventure from start to finish. Check out our videos (keep your eyes peeled for the wellie shot!)
It might be wet but the weather hasn’t dampened our day! We arrived safe and sound ready to start the first challenge – bed making! We saw some fascinating techniques getting duvets into their covers and fitted sheets onto the mattresses. Before long it was time to unpack and head for lunch. After refuelling we headed on a walk around the grounds before a giant game of tig in the park. We puddle jumped our way back to base for dinner and are now heading out for our night time of beach combing for rocks, exploring the castle grounds and then settling down with a hot chocolate and a film before bed!
P7 Talking Homework – November 2025
Title: My Dream Future
Pupils have been given a project to prepare and present a short five-minute talk all about their hopes and dreams for the future. You should include as much detail as possible and can include a range of different subjects such as:
You can chose whatever you would like to use to enhance your talk e.g. PowerPoint (saved on GLOW), posters, photographs, props.
You should practise your talk at home so that you can confidently present it to the class, you might want to use notes on paper to help you remember your talk. Remember it’s important that your talk lasts the full duration and that you make good eye contact with your audience.
All talks will be assessed using the school’s Talking & Listening criteria, which is also available on Glow.
Talks should be ready to be present the week beginning Monday 17th November.
To celebrate a whole term of hard work P7 will be having a movie afternoon tomorrow (Wednesday). After a very close vote – the winning film is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This film is rated a PG. If you do not wish your child to watch a PG rated film please contact the office before 10am.
The weeks are flying by and before we know it, it will be residential time. So, to help you start preparing please see the packing list below.
