The day had finally arrived for the P7s to head off to their transition camp.  25 eager, excited children came well prepared for their time at Dukeshouse Wood in Hexham as part of their transition to Broxburn Academy.

After collecting our friends at Uphall we were ready for our adventure.  Lunch was had in Jedburgh and we continued the sceneic route down the A68, but got caught in some roadworks, closures and diversions. Even though it was very hot on the bus and we had a bit of waiting around, our behaviour was exemplary!

We finally made it to Kingswood and were eager to get started.  We dropped off our bags and quickly headed to our activities.  We got to meet the other children in our groups and throughout the afternoon, we took part in fencing, orienteering and climbing.  Dinner was chicken curry or pasta bolognaise followed by cheesecake.

After dinner we all made sure our rooms were made up and headed to the campfire or scrapheap challenge.

We are now all tucked up in bed, looking forward to what lies ahead tomorrow!
