After a morning of activities and a quick lunch we’re on the road home! See you all soon!
Lockerbie Manor – Day 4
So, our last full day of activities has come to an end. It’s been dry for most of the day with a couple of showers and even a few hints of sunshine! A slightly later breakfast meant an extra 15 minutes in bed this morning but we were up and raring to go to our first activities at 9. We have been zip-wiring, getting incredibly muddy on the obstacle course, testing our aim at archery and overcoming our fears of heights at the abseiling wall. And now it’s all over we’re gathered in the common area before bed. Two more activities tomorrow morning before leaving Lockerbie Manor at 1:30. We’ve had an absolute ball but we’re all looking forward to coming home and seeing everyone!
Goodnight!
Lockerbie Manor – Day 3
Hello again everyone at home!
We were all up early for a bright start to the day, straight into the first activities at 9. Lots of fun before lunchtime but the wind and rain followed in the afternoon and a power cut meant we missed out on one of our activities! After some games inside the lights came back on and we went out to have our last session of the afternoon. All together just now chatting and playing some cards before bedtime. Hopefully we have a sunnier, slighter warmer Thursday and last full day.
Highlight of the day; Millie running through the mud, losing her boot, carrying on, then standing on one leg wondering what to do next…
Hope you’re all having as much fun back at school!
Lockerbie Manor – Day 2
Day 2 started off with a dusting of snow. After having our (full Scottish) breakfast, we started our activities. Â From Scavenging to Manor Olympics, we were in full swing by lunchtime. The sun came out for us in the afternoon and we finished our day with a birthday celebration. Everyone was glad to get to bed after such a fun day. Roll on tomorrow!
Lockerbie Manor – Day 1
We arrived safely here at Lockerbie Manor at 1:30 after a quick stop at Abington. The pupils and staff were given a quick tour of the amazing house and grounds before starting our first activities at half 3. We have been climbing, abseiling, rifle shooting and completing a blind trail! Lots more to come with a full day of 4 activities tomorrow. The children are off to bed and settled now, ready for rise and shine at 7:30 and a Scottish breakfast. We’ve just managed to get the Wi-Fi up and running so have a look at some action shots from today. Hope you’ve all had a nice Monday back in Torphichen!
