The final adventure!

Miss McArthur, Mr Malloch and the sensational sixes had a fun morning exploring the forest. We clambered over trees, checked out lots of frog spawn and crawled through very wet tunnels. We finished off our activities for the week by heading to the Gorge which was WET and AMAZING!!!! We slid, climbed, splashed and worked together to get to the top. What a week we have had. Lots and lots of fun and it's been great learning new skills and taking on many new challenges....

More Gorge snapshots!

Riverside adventure!

Mrs Mac's group headed out onto the gorge this morning and there was much excitement to be had on the naturally formed water slides. The pools were full enough for the children to fall into after sliding down with the fast moving water! Mrs MacAlister was the only one able to rescue Keiran's welly boot and Shannon, Demilee and Candice emptied a pond out of their boots after the event! This afternoon we are heading out on to the Loch again for more fun on the water and watch this space for the photographs tonight! All of the children are really enjoying getting WET! But don't worry they are having plenty of showers and tonight of course is the Disco! We aim to be home around 1pm tomorrow but will keep you posted via the school office. Stand by with the washing powder! Mrs MacAlister

Mrs MacAlister and crew headed out in the morning for a fun time abseiling and climbing. We thought it was amazing but pretty scary. In the afternoon we headed to freezing Loch Eck for canoeing. Kieran and Simon were the fastest, along with Mrs MacAlister and Demilee.

Canoeing, Abseiling and Climbing

Day 3 - Miss McArthur and the sensational sixes spent the morning canoeing on Loch Eck. We had lots of fun paddling standing up and changing canoes in the middle of the Loch. In the afternoon we went abseiling and climbing. A little scary for some but we were impressed with each others effort.
