Today we got up and got ready for breakfast.  For breakfast we had cereal , fruit juice and toast.  After this we had time for reflection.  We had to try and put a jigsaw together when lots of other people had the pieces.

Activities today included nightline, king-swing, archery, trail biking and low ropes.  Some of us had 4 activities today!

At lunch we had carrot and coriander soup, it was delicious!  This was followed by baguettes with fillings such as tuna, ham, cheese and salad.  We also had yoghurt!

Mrs Smillie came to join us for the activities and she got a flavour of archery, low-ropes and kingswing!

This evening for dinner we had the choice of sausages/gravy, BBQ chicken or chickpea stew.  Pudding tonight was malteser cheesecake, we loved it!

We quickly for ready to catch the bus to the Hollywood Bowl and more teachers surprised us with a visit – Miss Foote, Miss Hendrie, Miss Hesp and Mrs Angus.  Miss Prentice also met us here and we are happy she will stay with us at camp for the rest of the week!  Some of the children are delighted they managed to get a strike, sometimes two!

We are now settling down for the night and after we have posted our blog and read last night’s comments, we will watch a movie in our pyjamas!

Goodnight!

Day 2 at Lendrickmuir started with a delicious breakfast of cereal and toast, with a cup of tea. After breakfast we had Time for Reflection when we talked about what made us us and what characteristics identified us. Then we went out and did our team challenges in the woods. This included different types of puzzles which tested our skills. Some of the puzzles were very difficult. When we completed a puzzle and worked as a team we earned team coins for our rocket challenge. The Dark Blue team won the most coins. The order for picking the rockets was decided by the number of coins that we had. When we had finished building our rockets we went out to the field and launched them. The Green team went the furthest.

After team challenges we had a yummy lunch of lentil soup and cheese pizza with coleslaw and salad. After lunch we went to our first activity of the afternoon. The activities included  Kingswing, Bushcraft, Trail Biking, Gorge Walking, Jacob’s Ladder and Mini Survival. During our break at activities we all got a tasty muffin for our snack. The weather was wet and sunny which made our activities even more fun.

When our afternoon activities had finished and we had enjoyed our free team playing football or going to the adventure playground, we came in for dinner. Our choices were meatballs, macaroni cheese with bacon or veggie bolognese, then we had a delicious chocolate puddle pudding.

Our evening activity was called Murder Mystery. It tested our investigative skills as we tried to guess who the murderer was. The suspects included: the maid, the son, the daughter, the wife, the gardener and the chef. The murderer will remain secret as we don’t want to spoil it for next year’s Primary 7…

Now that we have had supper we are about to watch the rest of our movie and play a game of Stop the Bus.

We arrived at Lendrickmuir just after 10.30am. We were met by the instructors, who talked us through what we would be doing and we had to write down our three goals for this week (some of us have already achieved our goals by making our beds). We did a treasure hunt around Lendrickmuir to get our bearings. It was fun and we got to learn new things.

Before lunch we got time to go up to our rooms and we made our beds. Then we had a delicious tomato soup with a filled roll.

After lunch we were taken out for our first activity in our groups. Some of the activities we did were: Bushcraft, Kingswing, Nightline, Jacob’s Ladder and a walk to the gorge. A group also went cycling.

For dinner tonight we had delicious chicken pie or fish with peas and wedges. For pudding we had meringue, with peaches and cream.

When we finish our blog tonight we are going to play on the inflatables, after having our board games time. After supper we will be getting our pyjamas and then we will be watching our movie. We don’t know what it is yet. It will be a surprise.

We will be in touch tomorrow to tell you all about our day.
