9am

Everyone was tucked up in bed last night by 10.30pm despite a couple of ‘chatty’ rooms!

We were up bright and early at 7am for our breakfast at 7.45am. There was lots of choice from a full cooked breakfast to cereal and fruit. You’ll be pleased to hear the room inspections this morning went very well so no excuses for untidy bedrooms at home after this week!

Everyone is getting plenty of layers on for our first set of wet activities: canoeing, kayaking and raft building. We’ll get some pictures for our next update.

11am

It’s a beautiful day here in Lockerbie with the sun shining as the children take part in their activities on the water. They’ve had their first session which ended with some much needed hot juice and a biscuit to keep them going.

5pm

After our morning activities we had a hearty lunch of baked potatoes with various fillings and tomato soup. The weather has continued to be kind to us though the wind has been picking up a bit.

The groups have been on various activities this afternoon such as zip wire, low ropes, archery and raft building. It seems from the comments of the children as we go round the site that everyone is having a great time and trying activities they thought they would never do!

9pm

There was plenty of hungry P7s for this evening’s meal where we had the choice of steak pie, chicken kiev or pasta. All finished off with some delicious jam roly poly and custard 😋

Our final activities of the day were high ropes, crate stacking and abseiling. Doing the activities at night time adds another element to the whole experience.

We always finish the night with a quiz or game. Last night we had a music quiz and tonight we’re playing a version of ‘Stop the Bus’ with word Lockerbie.
