I will post more pictures soon but first I want to thank all the wonderful P4 campers for their excellent company this week. A huge thanks to Mrs Cameron for all her hard work arranging it all and for keeping us all so well organised and to Ms Watson for making us all feel so well cared for. I also want to thank the parents for lending us your precious kids who are caring, independent, interesting and very well mannered.

I thought you would like to hear some of the things they said.

• That was the most awesome experience I have ever had. (Walking in a burn)-  Reply – Just wait ’til you go sailing!
• It’s like everyone here is my family.
• I just can’t wait for this. (Dinner!)
• I have never been allowed to do this in my whole life. (Walking down a burn.)
• Everyone in my room treats me really well.
• I woke up and said, “The sky is blue!”
• We both slept really well.
• I never thought I would hold a live newt.
• How much further?
• Mrs Cameron just blends in with the kids!
• As soon as we woke up we started packing.
• I can nearly swim properly now.
• Mrs McGuire will be pleased because we soaked Mrs Cameron.
• How much further?

You will also be very proud to hear what was said about the children by adults we met.

• This group has been so good at helping each other and letting each other know about the hazards.
• That is probably the largest shelter that has been built in this activity!
• What lovely manners!
• Best class we have had here.
• Those sailors deserve a special award for how well they did and how calm they were.
• I have had the best day at the pool today because these children are delightful.
• What school are these children from? Their behaviour is impeccable.

It was a privilege to be with them.
