Term 2 Update from Ness

Keep an eye out soon for our Term 2 Sway which will be winging it’s way to you all shorty.

Great fun being had during our recent visit to the Sensory Room where some of our class decided to dramatise the story of ‘The 3 Pigs’ using soft building materials. Can you guess who had built their house out of brick?
Let’s just say, after lot’s of huffing and puffing, Miss Purves was very much needing a sit down!

Happy Campers P5

A brilliant day had by all here in Broomlee. After an uneventful bus journey, we set up in our dorms before heading for a tour of the camp. A delicious lunch was a big hit with most of our campers before our afternoon activities-Low Ropes and Crate Climb. Dinner was pasta with cake and custard then we headed into the woods for campfire. Well done to Raeya who won the award for the best campfire singer! Supper and playtime in the grounds ensured a happy end to the day… with hopefully a long nights sleep.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s adventure!

Broomlee- The Final Countdown…

The last full day at camp continued the same successful story for all our campers. Raft-building, Bush-skills and archery were among today’s highlights. What has really been apparent to instructors and teaching staff, has been the way teamwork and togetherness has really deepened in the group. The ability to work together to overcome challenges, knowing each other’s strengths and when to support has really shone through today. We ended our day with campfire stories, songs and marshmallows. Lots of memories which will never be forgotten!

P7 Camping Update Wednesday 31st May

Wow- another stunning day in sunny Broomlee. Sleepy heads at 7:30 this morning but breakfast of cereal, croissants (chocolate ones too) and toast helped set us up for the day. Catwalk for one of the groups and Raft Building were 2 of many highlights of the day. A big shout out to Sam and Shannon who were voted ‘Best Leaders’ during Nightline activity by their team along with Miss Lindsay who climbed to the top (yes the TOP) of the Catwalk. Again lots of smiles, hard work and success for all. At this time, we are completing camp quiz activities. Well done to each and every one of our amazing Campers.

 

 

Happy Campers in Sunny Broomlee

What a fabulous start to our P7 Camp. After an uneventful bus journey, we were straight to activity. Both groups enjoyed testing their teamwork  in Low Ropes, tackling fear of heights in Catwalk (amongst the birds in the trees) and their strategic thinking during Crate Climb. Lots of fun and excitement amongst all pupils, with a bucket load of pride as everyone was successful. After a hearty dinner we are now playing Highland Games in the beautiful evening sunshine. Happy Campers!
