Primary 7 and the staff were extremely busy on Thursday with their activities, case packing and disco, so could not blog after their initial early pre breakfast blog. The disco proved extremely successful, but the packing less so! Some were more willing to blog than others and we apologise if anyone was missed – the games room was an attraction for a lot of them prior to any meal we had! Thank you to all who commented throughout the week, it was much appreciated. We have more photos of the children which will be uploaded soon. The children had a great time and they were a pleasure to be with. We hope they sleep for you this weekend!
Photos from an Adventure walk!
Thursday morning
David – ” I went skiing yesterday. I fell a lot. I did gorge walking on Tuesday, I liked that except from the cold water. My favourite activity so far has been the adventure walk that I did yesterday, because the girls fell in iced over water!”
Kieran and Craig – ” Yesterday we went for an adventure walk. It was over the hills and we could see Mull. Daniel fell over about a million times and I slipped three times. We went rock climbing as well. We found it quite easy. We are both in group nine.”
Sarah S – “Yesterday I went skiing in the morning, sorry Mum! It was very challenging and when I fell the first time I hurt my arm. I decided to go back and carry on. I went to the little slope first to try it out by holding the fence. I got it okay so I managed to do it without holding on. In the afternoon I went climbing, I was really scared, but I did it! I was proud of myself. That was a medium one after an easy one.”
Kirstie – ” Yesterday we went rock climbing and skiing. Everyone had a really really good time. It was probably our best day yet! In rock climbing we had four cliffs to climb up and I was the only girl that managed to climb the biggest rock face. Skiing was really really fun and we all fell on our bottoms lots. I almost killed Mrs McIntyre! I got to the big slope which was really high and I went really fast.”
James – Yesterday I did rock climbing and skiing. On the skiiing there were lots of different sections like Santa’s Little Helper. I got to the Bart section. It was only two sections away from the top. We had to climb three different rocks. I felt good. one was really scary but I gave it a go, but I didn’t get up too far.”
Thomas – ” Today I have adventure walk and safari. I’m looking forward to it. I enjoyed skiing yesterday but I fell over a lot and Mrs McIntyre had it all on camera. By accident, my skis went towards the jump and I tripped myself up to stop me doing a worse fall. I found hill climbing easy but I didn’t do the really hard one, because I knew I’d fall. I fell over the grass so I knew I would!”

Wednesday update
Daniel R. – “This morning I went on an Adventure Walk. It was a disaster. it was realy bad it was the worst adventure walk ever beacause it kept me away from rock climbing! I hurt my ankle because I slipped 6 times and then my back as well. Hopefully i will be better for tomorrow. Food has been great, love the games room and tuck.”
