The video from Loch Insh has arrived. I hope you enjoy it.
If you don’t recognise all the bairns, it’s because some of them are from Brae school and some from a school in Glasgow, who were at Loch Insh at the same time as we were.
Enjoy!

Yesterday we were kayaking, canoeing, archery, problem solving and had a disco in the evening. What a fantastic end to the trip.
Logan has most enjoyed everything!
Reece especially enjoyed the canoeing
Luke loved the archery , problem solving and everything else.
Calum has enjoyed all of it too.
Kyle loved mountain biking and kayaking.
Ben loved the archery
Ms Scanlan loved the way that all the P7s were up for everything and put 100% into the week.
Day 3, Loch Insh
Another fantastic day at Loch Insh. Today we have been sailing, mountain biking, raft building doing archery and problem solving. The weather has been great and everyone has had a lot of fun…and got very wet!
Day 2 Loch Insh
We have had an action packed second day at Loch Insh. We’ve enjoyed windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, kayaking and skiing. It’s nonstop action and we’re so proud of how well the bairns are working together, making new friends and throwing themselves into new challenges.
Loch Insh Trip 2017
We had a really smooth trip last night and after picking up Reece and Calum in Aberdeen, we headed to Landmark for an afternoon of fun.
At 4 we arrived in Loch Insh and we’re sitting in the restaurant now in the sunshine having our tea. Later on tonight we’ll be heading out for our first activity – way finding (orienteering).
I hope you enjoy the photos.
Outdoor Classroom Day
We have been so lucky today to have such beautiful weather for our outdoor day. We sat outside for reading again and had a lot fun doing a drawing scavenger hunt and pond dipping. We made clay models in the afternoon and then went for our whole school walk 😃
British Heart Foundation CPR session
This afternoon we had a really interesting hour learning how to carry out CPR. We used dummies to learn how to do chest compressions and mouth to mouth resuscitation .
SMUHA fun
We have been building up to SMUHA for a couple of weeks, with lots of time spent on maakin, preparing props, making up sketches and practising songs.
Friday was a perfect day and the Norse gods made sure we had perfect weather for the procession. Our guiser jarl Truncherface AKA Calum Mackay, and his fantastic Trowie squad led the procession well and all the other bairns sang and roared impressively! John and the galley boys had made another excellent galley and the burning was great to watch.
Back in the hall after break, we were treated to some very funny acts and finally the squad came in to sing their songs.
In the afternoon we were treated to some drumming with Joy and Emily playing her fiddle. The jarl squad looked fantastic when they arrived and it was great to go into the playground to see their galley.
It was a really super day in school and we hope that you had fun in the evening.
Third Wider Achievement afternoon
We had a lovely afternoon making two more types of bird feeders. Next week we will go and tie all the feeders to our feeding stations and the trees. P4/5/6/7 have worked really well, the 🐦 are certainly appreciating it!
Wider Achievement afternoon
We had a great afternoon making bird feeding stations for our school grounds. We used some of the big logs and made holes in them for bird food and hammered nails into the wood so that next week we can hang feeders off them. We also made lots of fat balls and seedy worms 🐛 and put these out too. In a few weeks time we’ll be doing the RSPB bird watch and hope this will encourage more birds into our school grounds, especially in this cold weather.
