Kilbowie day 3

I’m not sure if it’s just me but I’m  sure they are taking longer to get up in the morning!

Not a sound through the night our families have obviously prepared our children well. Either that or everyone is so exhausted.

A wet start to the morning but that doesn’t stop us at Kilbowie.  In fact a bit of rain and mud only adds to the fun. A hill walk isn’t really a hill walk unless you need hosed down  afterwards.

One of the best things at Kilbowie  is watching our children over coming challenges, fears or worries. This year has been no different. So many proud children in the evening talking about their achievements from the day. Whether it’s climbing to the top of a rock face or organising their stuff in their rooms. I’m also so impressed with our staff yet again. As always they are supporting and encouraging our children and have been since Monday morning. A great team effort.

Get ready for some major story telling on Friday night.

 

Kilbowie Day 2

‘The days are passing too quickly’.

That’s the general feeling here at Kilbowie.  Another action packed day. The weather held up beautifully for us.

I’m particularly pleased with the many positive comments we have had about our pupils from the instructors.

Anticipating another peaceful night. Had to break the bad news to a few of them earlier on that it was still 2 hours until bed time. Lots of fresh air and hearty meals is the perfect recipe to a good early night. We have been so pleased with how quickly the children have settled at night. (I have a funny feeling you won’t have any problems on Friday night either.)

Everyone looking forward to another day tomorrow but disappointed it is the last full day of activities!

 

 

Kilbowie Day 2

Good morning everyone!

A beautiful day in Oban! Everyone had a good night’s sleep. In fact many were ready for bed after the evening activity. Last night was the famous ‘night line’. Very exciting indeed.

A full day ahead with a range of activities planned. The good weather has allowed a lot of water activities too so far this week.

Food is going down well. No hungry tummies.

More soon …

 

 

Kilbride Day 1

We had a really good day yesterday. The bus journey passed without event and we quickly got settled into the centre. Everyone got outside in the afternoon and worked up an appetite for dinner. We played a game on the grounds at night and everyone was ready for bed when the time came. Looking forward to our first full day of activities today.

Merry Christmas

Well what a busy time we have had over this festive period. Pantomime visits, school shows, Christmas parties, carol concerts and a church service.

School closes tomorrow at 2:30pm. Children can dress down for the day and are encouraged to wear something festive. I know many have been desperate to wear their Christmas jumpers.

We would like to wish all of our families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we look forward to starting 2015 with you.
