Murder Mystery at Lendrick Muir

Murder Mystery is a game where you need to find out who killed a fictional character. The characters were – The Daughter, The Son, Lady Moubray, The Butler and The Maid.

Lord Moubray was killed in front of the old Macdonald Room. We were given information about other characters. We had to go up to each of the characters and ask their name, how they felt about Lord Moubray, what they did earlier that day, how he was killed and find out the character’s alibi .

Crazy Golf

On the first day we played Crazy Golf. You had to partner up with another person and play the course. There were fourteen holes including two bonus holes which could either ruin your win (if you are winning anyway) or make it a clear win. It was a homemade course made by the owners of Lendrick Muir. They used AstroTurf, logs and little tunnels. It was an outside course. The holes were quite hard with all the bumps and turns and tunnels and stuff. Personally our group thought it was a decent course. Crazy golf was our second activity and it was good. It was relaxing and fun.

Here are some of our favourite photos from the week:

WOW, that was amazing! If you have siblings that get on your nerves all the time, Lendrick Muir is totally for you! It’s also full of fun and amazing activities.

Archery

One of the activities that we did was Archery. We were told rules and advice for firing the arrow. The first step was to pick up the bow and turn it like a table. The next step was to pick up the arrow and slot on the bow but make sure the odd flyer is facing the sky. Then put every finger except your pinkie and your thumb on the string. 1, 2, 3, BULLS-EYE!

Low Ropes

Our next activity is Low Ropes. We had so much fun climbing, crawling and sliding. As soon as you went in the door there was a climbing wall that you had to climb up to get to a platform. On the climbing wall there were three different levels. An easy level, a medium level and a hard level. Then we crossed a bridge. It was hard for some of us, some of us even faced our fears. After we crossed the bridge there were different ways to get down, most people chose the mine shaft – it was a small tight tunnel with obstacles there a seesaw plank, stringy spider webs (that you got tangled up in), and camouflage nets. There were different obstacles within the course. There were bridges, nets and a climbing, stretching and balancing zone. There was also a fireman pole and a slide…

<- Make sure you get your feet ready to step off the slide otherwise you’ll end up like this! Someone learned that the hard way.

P6 Lendrick Muir: Day 1

6 Replies

A great first day has been had by all at Lendrick Muir.

We had a welcome meeting as soon as we arrived where we learned all about the facilities and our activities for the week. We also learned that we have to make our own beds… our first big challenge! Then we had a scavenger hunt and got to explore some of the grounds.

We then stopped for a delicous 2-course lunch. The food is amazing here and we’re all being very well fed!

Next we split into our activity groups and had a go at lot of different activities… one highlight for all today was definitely the Inflatables! We all had a good laugh at our teachers trying the Bungee Run!

We’ve just had dinner (another yummy 2-courser!) and we’re about to settle for tonight’s entertainment… A Murder Mystery! Afterwards we’ll have some supper and (try!) to have an early night to gain plenty of rest for tomorrow’s activities.

P6A The Structure of The Earth

Leave a reply

In Primary 6 we have started a new topic all about Natural Disasters.

To understand the causes behind Natural Disasters, we first had to learn about the structure of planet Earth.

We learned that Earth is made up of five layers; the crust, the upper mantle, the lower mantle, the outer core and the inner core. We also learned that the crust is made up of many different pieces called tectonic plates and that these plates can move around.

We made little models of Earth out of modelling clay and we used a different colour of clay for each layer. Finally, we cut into our models to see a cross-section of Earth. It looked really cool!

Here are some pictures of us making our models and the final results:

Yellow – the inner core.

Orange – outer core.

Red – lower mantle.

Purple – upper mantle.

Blue and green – the crust.

A Tribute To A Great Teacher

Leave a reply

Today we learned the sad news that our friend and teacher, Mr Hewitt, had passed away last week.

We took some time today to celebrate his life and remember all the great things he taught us and all the laughs we had together.

We created some art tributes that we will post to his family and we will show some of these tributes on the blog at a later date.

Mr Hewitt was an amazingly talented performer and many of the P6 students mentioned how much they enjoyed his dance lessons, so we thought it would be a fitting tribute to perform the dance he taught us in his honour.

At this time we would like to send our heartfelt condolences to all of Mr Hewitt’s family and friends. As the children said today, he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
