Today was very busy at Beecraigs all morning with the instructors. In the afternoon we went to Linlithgow Palace to meet the guides from Linlithgow Primary. They took us around telling us lots of interesting facts about life in the palace under King James.

After that we walked to Mac’s the ice cream shop where we all, even Mrs Johns, Mrs Aitken and Miss Carerra had a delicious ice cream. The weather was quite sunny and we walked along the side of the loch to the park for a long play before hurrying back to the centre for tea.

Mr McCabe joined us for tea.

After tea it was the Big Quiz…Charlotte and Florence won with 31/40. Their team was called “Canoe”

We were all sooooo excited about the disco and danced and played games till after 9pm before we ate a light supper and then bed for the last time at Lowport.
