The tragic story of Francis and Mary.

Today we went up kindrogen hill. It was really steep most of the way up. There was a grave yard just after the start, there was a grave that had two names on it. One of the names was called France’s Balfour and her sister was called Mary Balfour; Lizzy (our tutor) told us a story about Mary and how she fell in love with the game keeper but her dad found out and told him to leave so he did but he lived in a cave about hour and a half away from kindrogen and Mary still went to he him secretly but her dad found out so he tried to shoot him but Mary jumped in front of him and her dad shot her.

When we got back we made bird boxes. That’s all from me. Day 4. It’s been another great day!!

Day 3…

Well we have just had our fish n chips dinner and are all full! I think it was the mandarin and toffee desert that did it. Another great day… This afternoon we did the low ropes learning to rust each other and then completing the course… Of course we all managed. We then had more attempts at fire starting. The sparks for flint and steel are amazing. We even got a few going… Stay tuned for more details from the people that matter…the children.

The trappings of a fun trip!

I’m at kindrogan with the whole of primary 7 !

In my room with all my friends and so far we have done , raft building and animal trapping yesterday. I think that we will catch a wood mouse but my friend Nicole wants to catch a vole though so I can’t wait!!!!

We won both raft races and all the people on my team when we were close to the finish line got off!!! I won the last bit of the race on my own ! Today we are doing the low ropes and a big walk

It’s  been a great trip so far !
