Sorry for the lack of updates today – I know you will have been checking the computer all of time to hear how we’re getting on. It’s been such a fun-packed day, this is the first time we’ve had to blog.
After a hearty-breakfast of cereal, toast, porridge (if wanted) and hot cups of tea, the children met with their instructors for their morning activity. The weather was beautiful, clear blue skies and hardly any wind. Two groups headed off to the Gorge Walking with Mr. Clark and Mrs. Kelso. It was cold at first, but we soon got used to the water. We walked up a wide river which ended in an amazing rock pool with waterfalls. Lots of the children jumped in, swam around and even went under the waterfall – if they could swim hard enough! Can you believe that some of the children were splashing poor Mr. Clark on purpose!!
Mrs Kearney and Miss Grenfell went on the adventure walk with one of the groups. They hiked for two hours in the hills overlooking the centre and had the most amazing views of Kerrera and beyond!
Mrs Bradshaw headed to the dry ski slope with her children and said some of the children were absolute naturals and were soon whizzing down from the very top.
Lunch time arrived and we all tucked into sandwiches, crisps, fresh-fruit and fruit juice before heading off on the afternoon activities. Mr. Clark and Miss Grenfell went kayaking with one group, Mrs Kearney and her group took the sea in a huge sail boat while Mrs Bradshaw and Mrs Kelso went rock-climbing and abseiling with their children. All of the adults have commented on how well the children have participated in the activities -everyone has done everything they’ve been asked to do with enthusiasm. We’re doing Tannochside proud!
Dinner was fish or mince with potatoes followed by jelly. Very tasty! We completed our log books , had tuck and then took part in the evening activity. It was the Kilbowie Scavenger hunt. All of the children had to work in their groups to find something from around the grounds that started with every letter of the alphabet but it had to fit in a rucksack. The children raced of the collect items and the teachers took part in their own team. At the end of the evening, the teachers scored a grand total of 26 but were disqualified for going into the dining room which was out of bounds for the game. They were not pleased!
Supper was sandwiches and juice and then the children headed for bed, tired but happy after a good day at Kilbowie.
