Everyone in P6/7 was looking very festive today in their Christmas Jumpers! Thank you to everyone for participating and donating to raise money for Save The Children. Here we are in our Christmas jumpers, we hope you enjoy our ‘Naughty’ and ‘Nice’ poses!
You may be wondering why so many people in P6/7 are wearing odd socks – and no, we didn’t get dressed in the dark! We’re wearing odd socks because this week is Anti-Bullying week. The odd socks represent that it’s ok to be different and differences should be celebrated.
Two weeks ago we went to Lendrick Muir and our favourite activity was really hard to choose because of all of the other great activities but we had to come to a decision so we chose Bushcraft and King Swing.
King Swing
At Lendrick Muir our favourite activity was the King Swing. The king swing is a gigantic swing. First we had to put on a harness and climb up a ladder and get clipped on to a metal bar, which is attached to the main ropes. Then all of the rest of the group had to pull you up. Then you just pull a little rope which is shaped into a ball and when you pull the little ball you SWING!!!!! And a big thank you to all the Lendrick Muir staff.
Bushcraft
Bushcraft is when you get tips on how to survive in the wild so we went into the woods. Then when we got there we went into a big tent and Dave and Mark taught us how to make a fire with a flint and steal, cotton and the fluff from a tumble dryer. We also learned how to make bread. We could choose from a variety of different flavorings. One group made a paprika bread and it was really spicy because Holly burst the lid of the paprika but it still won. We would like to say thank you to all the Lendrick Muir staff for making our time even more enjoyable.

Nightline
At Lendrick Muir we did the Nightline activity. We had to go into the woods and put a blindfold on. It was an obstacle course and we had to follow the rope which took us to the end. The obstacles included going through tyres, climbing over and under logs, crawling under nets, going through tangled ropes, we also had to watch out for the tree roots. Before we did the real course we did a practice course just following the rope to get used to it. It was really fun and we enjoyed it, we would recommend it.
Walk to the Gorge
At Lendrick Muir we went on a walk to a Gorge. A Gorge walk is a walk through the forest by the water. We ate wild garlic on the walk which some people liked but some people didn’t. We took photos of the waterfall and the lovely scenery. The current was very strong and can lift boulders up so if you fell in it the current would carry you down the river. The views were nice and we had to walk over bridges that went across the river. There was a cave where people used to make whisky when it was illegal and they used to sell it to make money, this cave was called the Macgregor’s Cave. It was a fun walk, we enjoyed it a lot and we heard a lot of fun facts.

Lendrick Muir Camp
A few weeks ago we came back from Lendrick Muir and we did lots of activities but we have only written about two of them.
Tree climbing: Some of us liked it, but some of us didn’t really enjoy it because of the height. Everybody gave it a go. Although not everybody enjoyed it, it was a great experience.
Scarlett-“I found the first side fun and I found the other side more challenging.”
Rianna – “It was so funny when Scarlett bumped into the tree that I almost cried of laughter.”
Aaron- “I wasn’t going to do it but I gave it a go and I got to the top on both sides.”
Stuart-“I found it really challenging but I gave it a go.”
Luke-“When I was trying to get down from the tree I slipped and skidded on the ground.”
Elle-“I liked the easier side but I found the harder side more challenging.”
Shannon-“I was really nervous but I gave it a go and I tried my hardest.”
Inflatables: The Inflatables that were there were the Bungee Run and the Wrecking Ball.
Rianna-“I loved it when Alisha got the bean bag to the bottom of the Bungee run and got two cords (that only the adults are supposed to have).”
Scarlett-“I found it really fun and my favourite inflatable was the bungee run because you ping back every time.”
Aaron- “I enjoyed the inflatables but there were better activities.”
Stuart-“The inflatables were exhausting and one of the best activities.”
Elle-“The inflatables were very fun and tiring but I enjoyed it.”
Luke-“I really enjoyed it and it was really fun!”
Shannon-“I really enjoyed it. My favourite inflatable was the bungee run.”
