WOW  !  We found some gigantic footprints and a glitter trail on the floor, !   They led us to a letter …

The letter was from a friendly dragon.  He used to live in Fairyland, but it had disappeared and he was very sad.   He asked us if we could make him a Fairyland in our classroom.   We were very excited.

We decided to make a beanstalk for Jack as his had disappeared.  Our P7 Buddies helped us create it.

Here is our amazing beanstalk

Another letter arrived from the friendly dragon.   He was sad as his castle had disappeared too., so we got to work on designing a castle for the dragon .

The dragon left us a gift – these amazing castle books. He says we can use them for our designs and drawings.

What will happen next ….. watch this space.

We did a dance for the St Mary’s Has Got Talent Show.  Here we are waiting for our turn to take part. We learned a lot of different dance moves and worked so  hard to remember them ! We were absolutely amazing !

Here we are taking part in Easter Bingo .   Our buddies helped us to find the numbers.

These are our Easter Bunny hats, we had fun making them.

We had lots of activities at our Easter Fun week,   Here we are trying out lots of the fun games.

Just before Easter our gymnasts E and K were part of a team that went to a gymnastic competition with Mrs McMaster.   Here they are with their medals and certificates. Well done girls !

Another incredible day at camp. Pancakes this morning for breakfast was a real hit and fuelled us for a full day of amazing activities.

The sun came out for our water rafting activity, we were thankful to have a splash in the water after we built our rafts. The other team got competitive at archery and walked the catwalk.
We finished the day off with a campfire where we were chatting about our pit and our peak (our best and worst bits of camp). No one could give a negative but some positives included, “water rafting”, “lunch”, “the catwalk because I thought it would be hard and I could do it”, “the crate building because it helped my fear of heights”.

Now after a VERY competitive game of rounders, we are chilling out with snacks, music and games.

We should say we are looking forward to going home tomorrow but that might be a lie for some.

Another exciting, fun filled, wet, wild, sunny, adventurous day here at Bromley camp.
Sleepy heads started the day 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 amount many.  Again lots of smiles, hard work and success for all. We have some quotes from our happy camper below.

Codi “That’s a 10/10 dinner.”

Willow “Low ropes helped us with teamwork.”

Elise “I had a smashing sleep.”

Maddison “I’m excited to do raft building today.”

Adam “If they keep feeding us like this I could live here forever.”

Shaheen “Nightline is very exciting.”

Luke “That was an amazing breakfast.”

Terry “Activities are fun.”

Daniel “Today is going to be awesome.”

Oliver “We have strong minds you can’t trick us.”

Lewis “ I am the midge repeller.”

Well done to each and every one of our amazing Campers.

A brilliant day had by all here in Broomlee. We have settled well into our dorms before heading out for our first activities! A delicious lunch was a big hit with lots of our campers before our afternoon activities-Low Ropes, toasting marshmallows and Night walk. Dinner was pasta with cake and custard then we finished the day with a game of snakes and ladders with a twist.

Exciting, fun, tiring, wonderful and thrilling were words given by our primary 7,s to sum up there day.

Now hopefully a long nights sleep.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s adventure!

P6 started their new topic after the holidays – learning about the Scottish wars of independence. William Wallace and Robert the Bruce are central to this important part of Scotland’s history, as is Stirling Castle. We enjoyed our trip and the lovely weather!

We started off on the esplanade where there is an imposing statue of Robert the Bruce and vies of the Wallace Monument. Next we explored the Queen Anne Garden, with its stone cannon balls, and took in the incredible view of the surrounding countryside. We could clearly see the castle was built on the crag as you would have had clear views in all directions in the event of a siege.

Next up was the Great Hall, Great Kitchens and  Palace where we got to interact with characters from the middle ages who told us all about the Castle and its royal inhabitants. We also saw the giant cannons and peeped through the holes they would have fired through.

After lunch we visited other parts of the castle including an exhibition and then went to the gift shop. It was such a fun day and we learned so much!  Well done too for being a credit to the school throughout the day!
