An exciting day for all. Started off taking a woodland walk and learning all about the plants and trees around us. We made shelters and then sat around a small fire drinking our hot chocolate and eating our biscuits. Walking in the squelching mud and through small streams was super exciting….scraping the mud off our boots was not!

We then completed the tree climbing activity and after dinner spent time around the camp fire roasting marshmallows and sharing stories.

Everyone is now tucked up in their beds and fast asleep. Time for the teachers to eat all the leftover marshmallows!!

This morning we had sausages and tattie scones for breakfast. Then we had our room inspection and we got 8.5. After that we had our first activity.  Today’s activities were rope challenge, crate climbing, tree climbing and orienteering. Our favourite activity was the rope course. For dinner we had chicken in cream sauce with potatoes and sweetcorn and for pudding we had Barcaple surprise.

Just returned from our afternoon’s adventures. We learned all about conservation, the important trees and plants around us and…WE BUILT OUR OWN DENS! We also abseiled off the top of a really tall tree! It was quite scary but we helped each other to be brave and try it.

Time for showers and dinner now, followed by some evening activities….we’re not tired yet!

Primary 7s have arrived at Barcaple safely. The children had a fantastic start to their adventure by completing two activities.  The purple group were abseiling and doing archery yesterday and today are orienteering and completing a crate climbing challenge. The weather has been cold but sunny. Phew!
