Home Economics.

This afternoon at home economics the boys had great fun exploring with different foods and textures. But oh dear what a mess! All the boys helped out clearing up the mess.

At Assembly this week Mrs Mair had talked about Haysholm being eco friendly & energy saving so the boys put that talk into good practice by hanging up the laundry. Well done boys!!

Mud Kitchen

Boys in Skye class had  great fun exploring in the mud kitchen during outdoor learning.

 

 

All good things must come to an end!

 

Day 5, and it was time to say goodbye to Arran and all the wonderful staff at the Arran Outdoor Centre. Before setting sail for home, the adventurers had one final stroll through Brodick and were very pleased to find the chocolate shop!!!!! We then boarded the ferry and waved a final farewell to Arran. Time now to recharge the batteries before back to school on Monday.

 

 

Penultimate Arran Post!

 

Day 4 on Arran started with the adventurers donning their wetsuits again as we canoed from Lamlash pier back to the outdoor centre. PL and DL showed off their paddling skills as we explored Lamlash Bay, taking in the beautiful scenery and being greeted up close by a couple of common seals.

After lunch we enjoyed a bus journey around the island. Among the sites we saw woodcarvings and a Viking longboat in Corrie, PL was thrown in jail at Lochranza castle and saw cormorants drying their wings in Machrie bay.

After dinner we headed down to the beach where we built a fire, toasted marshmallows and walked along the stones where we saw a family of swans.

Another busy and enjoyable day.
