That’s us all packed up and ready to go!  We’ve made our lunches, reunited lost socks with their owners and tidied up our rooms.

The weather here is very calm and settled, so our journey home should be fine.

Mr. Clark will call the school just as we get to Stirling.  See you all soon.

We had a lovely meal of either Vegetable Quiche or Fish and chips tonight. The dessert was Arctic roll and fruit.

After a bumper tuck spend – tonight was the night the children could spend their left over money on the souvenirs – it was time to get ready for the disco. (Every child has spent all of their £8)

The girls and boys were dressed in their finest and danced the night away. It was lovely to see all of the Aitkenhead, Holy Cross and Tannochside  pupils get on so well. Some good friendships have been formed at Kilbowie this year.

Afterwards, it was a supper of filled rolls and now everyone is off to bed. We’ve had a brilliant week and the teachers are delighted to say the behaviour and attitude of every child has been exemplary.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Turned out nice again!

Good news – the weather has improved enough for the children to head our for afternoon activities. Some are enjoying the safari, others are headed to the water or to ski. Despite the weather, we’ve still managed to achieve a lot today.

Everyone’s really excited for the disco tonight and then our week is almost over. I think some of the children would like to stay longer though!

All’s well at Kilbowie – the wind is definitely dying down now and everyone is fine. We’re having a pyjama/onesie morning and we’ve just played a great teachers v pupils quiz. Of course, the teachers won (and there was no cheating – honest).

We’re now off to have a team-building challenge game, with lots of stations.  We’re not letting a wee bit of wind spoil our day!

See you soon!

It’s still a bit windy here, although it is dying down quite a bit. We’re going to have indoor activities this morning – a quiz and then some station games. We should be out after lunch though. Everyone’s still having a good time despite the weather.

Good morning from a windy Oban!

Last nights activities were great fun – the children loved the nightline and most of them managed to get round without lifting their blindfold. They were really pleased with the achievement.

Afterwards they had to have their waterproofs and wellies hosed down. Mr Clark had the challenging task of doing this – it was quite cold so his hands were getting a bit slippy. He might have accidentally wetted some people’s hair and face (just a little bit) and a couple of times the hose accidentally got stuck down a welly boot, or the back of a jacket. Whoops!

its been a bit of a windy night, yet the children had the best nights sleep so far!  There’s a chance we might need to have indoor activities this morning as it’s still a bit blustery. It’s forecast to die down a bit around 11ish, so we should get out and about this afternoon.

Dinner tonight is either Fish and Chips or Vegetable Quiche, followed by Article roll and jelly!  Yum.

Hi everyone.  It’s all good from Kilbowie on a fairly mild Wednesday afternoon.

Today’s activities for Tannochside were Mountain Biking, Skiing and Climbing before lunch.  After lunch it was camping for some, (with a real camp fire to toast marshmallows), exploring the wildlife with the Safari activity or orienteering in the grounds.  The children all seem very happy with their day – and lots of them are talking about new skills that they have developed – riding bikes, making camps, identifying birds etc.

Tonights dinner is either Steak Pie or Vegetarian sausages, with cocounut cake for desert.

The moment Mr. Clark has been waiting for all week is nearly upon us tonight – the Nightline!  The children will be finding their way around the woods near the building as a team – with their blindfolds on.  At the end of the activity, Mr. Clark gets to hose all of the children down!  Great fun!

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks a little windy, but the instructors are confident that the activities will still be able to go ahead!
