This week, our P7 pupils have been having an amazing time at Kilbowie Outdoor Centre in Oban.
Undeterred by the winter weather, the children have been taking part in canoeing, gorge walking, coasteering, forest orienteering, rock climbing, safari, and skiing!
Visiting Kilbowie is always an incredible experience, with many of our pupils taking a huge step forward in their ability to take responsibility for their personal organisation and safety over the course of the week.
Take a look at the mega-gallery below for a snapshot of the fun and learning!
Check out these photographs from P7’s incredible trip to Kilbowie last week!
Have a look at our mini-gallery of the photos taken on Mr Innes’ camera this week! There will be a much larger gallery coming soon with all of the pictures given to us by the staff at Kilbowie!
We’re midway through our last day here at Kilbowie, and we’ve got more than a few tired bodies in the building!
Having now completed all of their outdoor activities, our children are just polishing off a delicious chilli dinner. After dinner, the children will be clearing their rooms and sorting their equipment with their instructors before getting ready for the disco this evening!
It has been an absolutely terrific week, and the children will be desperate to share stories of their adventures and achievements with their families this weekend!
Tomorrow morning we’re hoping to be on the road by half past ten, and we’ll call the school with an ETA from our stop in Tyndrum.
Well, we haven’t had quite as much sunshine in Oban today, but the wet weather hasn’t dampened the spirits of any of our children!
Several of our groups have been rock climbing this morning, with many of the children conquering their nerves and fear of heights to really push themselves! Everyone is working so hard to be as involved as possible in their activities, and we are extremely proud of how our pupils are representing our school here at Kilbowie!
There is a real happy buzz in the air as our children continue to mix well with their new friends and share stories of their favourite activities – gorge walking has been a big hit so far this week, with even the normally pristine Miss Duncan diving into the cold water for a swim!
Shortly our children will be returning from their afternoon activities to enjoy some steak pie or chicken burgers before getting back outside for an evening activity later on, come rain or shine!
It’s another beautiful day in Oban and our children are just returning from their morning activities in time for lunch. Some of our children have been skiing in the sun, while others have been out canoeing or gorge walking. Everyone is having a great time so far, and everyone enjoyed a good sleep last night!
Tomorrow’s weather forecast isn’t so good so the teachers and children will be making the most of the sunshine today! We’ve planned to walk into Oban with the children after dinner for an ice cream. Yum!
Unfortunately we’re not able to upload our photographs to the Kilbowie computer – so you won’t get to watch us in action until the weekend!
Our P7 children arrived safe and sound at Kilbowie today, and have been having a great time in the sunshine so far! The children have met with their group instructors and have been jumping into the sea! They’ve just finished some delicious chicken fajitas and are now enjoying an hour of free time before the evening activities begin!
We took some super photographs today, but unfortunately we’re having some trouble getting them online! Hopefully the problem will be resolved for tomorrow!
