This morning’s activity was Safari. At safari, Derek introduced the idea of wildlife in Scotland to the children along with a few jokes which were well received. Then the children went outside to explore the local wildlife. Derek did a special whistle and lots of birds came down from the sky. We also caught a field vole and everyone got to have a close look at it.
This afternoon we all went Orienteering together. We went in a mini bus to the forest and the children split into trios and set off to find the different orienteering pins. Orienteering was a great success and thankfully we didn’t lose anyone!
Dinner was steak pie with mashed potatoes. Some words used to describe it were yummy and delicious!
Tonight was a great evening activity. It was Nightline. This is where the children all wear blindfolds and work as a team to work their way around a ropes course, going through tunnels and ducking under trees. All of the children worked well together and displayed excellent communication skills. Miss Thomson and I are so proud of their excellent attitude during this activity!
Here are some of our favourites moments from today:
