What a busy time! Everyone at Aitkenhead is ready for the school show! We have learned our lines and songs and practised the dance moves. Now all we need to do is remember how to put them all together! Kidding!
Everyone is nervous but looking forward to next week. We can’t wait to show you the 2015 annual show. This year it is a traditional pantomime -Snow White!
Four Primary 6 pupils went to the North Lanarkshire schools Reading challenge Final. 2015. The team members are Abigail McGill, Jack Hunter, Emily Mathie and Sophie Ford.x
We started swimming last week it was fun. My swimming teacher is John we did not do much swimming and that was because John was assessing us. When I began to swim my goggles flew off my eyes so it was hard to tell where I was going!

Primary 5 have started swimming lessons. Last week was our first lesson, our coach’s name is John. We had an assessment to see who could swim. We had to do front crawl, back crawl and double front crawl. We also had to jump in.

Hope everyone is enjoying yourself and relaxing this weekend. Every time I sit down to relax …..I fall asleep. Hopefully I’ll be able to stay awake on Monday……
It was a great week and I just wanted to tell your parents that they should be proud of you! I certainly was – you pushed yourselves to try something new and didn’t give in! Even when it was pouring !
I also can’t believe how tidy all your rooms were 🙂 Amazing!
Lesley thanks once again for all your help.
It’s a thought I know but I’ll see you all on Monday morning.
Climbing
On Tuesday, everyone wet rock climbing. It was so fun. There were 3 different roues to climb up he first rock. Two were small and one was a zigzag way. The small one was quite easy and we were allowed to do it without a rope. The second one was harder but still easy too. We had he rope an harnesses on this time it was a zigzag way and it was so much fun. Then we went up a straight one but it was pretty hard so we needed the rope. We went up with partner and sometimes we got pulled up the rocks. Although it was hard it was really fun. Some groups got to do abseiling as well. There were 4 people holding the ropes and one person climbing, then, the 4 people came forward slowly to let the person down.

All is quiet…..shh. We are just waiting on our lovely LOUD alarm. I wonder if the boys and girls will wake up dancing as they have the last two mornings or will they be too tired ? Who knows? We will find out soon enough!
Sky looks a bit overcast but it’s not raining yet 🙂
Keep you posted!
He he he ..I knew it -nobody stirred! We are early breakfast this morning – 8.15 but it gets harder every day to get up….. Our cereal and toast and jam await…
I spoke too soon!!!! The weather this morning turned windy and wet but it didn’t stop the fun! The activities today were orienteering, Safari and hillwalking and what a hill it was! Rhys says it was enormous and it was so windy on the top, he felt as if he could fly! Ruairidh also said it was amazing because on top of the huge mountain they all got to hug a rock called Eric! -simple pleasures eh?
Safari according to Fraser and Harry was AWESOME! They got the closest to seagulls that they have ever been. Derek, the instructor (who the children said was hilarious), called about 30 birds down to the football field and fed them. He held out a plastic bag full of crisps and a seagull grabbed it with his beak and pulled it away, spilling all the crisps. It was so funny and very informative too.
The orienteering was a laugh, especially when some groups couldn’t find the markers and they were almost standing on them! The instructor said he would come back in the morning to collect them they were taking so long……
Tonight we are doing the famous ‘night line’ .We are just going off to get ready….
I’ve chosen a few snaps to post tonight I hope they load before tomorrow….
Everyone is up. We had a peaceful night. Everyone was exhausted! (especially the staff!)
The Sound of Kerrera is looking good at the moment. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for another dry day.
