Primary 7 have arrived safe and well and are settling into their new surroundings very nicely. They have even managed to make their own beds!!! As you can see from our picture gallery they have already been out and about round the centre and have got rather muddy and wet. We even had snow today !! We will do our best to post pictures tomorrow but connections here are making it a very trying job! Fingers crossed things go a bit smoother tomorrow evening on the technology front.
