Gorge-tastic!
















Almost the last day...

Last night we had a visit from Steve the African drummer. Emily S, Hugh, Iain, Ewan and Eilidh all had a fantastic time! Lots of teamwork and making loud music. Brandon and Oliver were two of the loudest.
Miss Gaffney went blading for the first time and made it half way up the slope. Sam, Sophie Z, Kirsty C and Alison were outstanding. Ms Waters took a video-You've been Framed eat your heart out!
The others went to see the Argyll Stone on the top of the mountain. Poppy and Pryde were great and made it to the top easily. Murdo, Kirsty H, Sophie C and Chloe enjoyed the day and had lots of fun. Well done everyone.
Ms Kelly has done three hillwalks this week!

Tonight it is the disco!

Wednesday again!

On Wednesday afternoon; Callum S, Callum, Brandon, Emily B and Nian all went snowboarding. They were great! Special mention for Aiden who is a natural boarder. Well done everyone!
Lots of groups went for an all day hillwalk; Josh and Shaun were super and led the way for part of the walk. Justine and Victoria kept Mr McKenna company at the back.
Miss Gaffney went up the hill too, Daniel was the best at Hide and Seek. Brodie was glad he came and tried all the challenges.
Ms Kelly climbed Chalamain and saw reindeer with her group. They scrambeled up the Chalamain Valley Pass, Robyn tried really hard and Khalid and Colm raced ahead. The final climb was steep and windy. Max, Alex, Kate and Rowan did very well.

Fun on the slopes!

Fun and Games
















More adventures at Lagganlia

Last night we all learned circus skills. Brendan learned he is a natural juggler and Clare S discovered how to keep her plate spinning! Oskar and Sonny were star plate spinners-they should put on a show in the Festival! Dominic tried really hard with the Devil sticks. We all discovered new talents.

Miss Kelly climbed Craig Bheag with Lauren G, Eliza and Selina. They were great leaders and read the map for the group. Then Sam, Ewan and Oliver led them to the cairn at the top of the hill where they sat to enjoy the view.

This morning, Robert was brilliant at Archery and worked hard for his team. Mim and Amy shot well and really got the hang of it. Ms Waters was cheering everyone on. The sun even came out.

Some others went for an off road cycle. Sophie Z, Kirsty C and Alison all tried really hard. It was great fun and very muddy.

Mrs Brown went for a gorge walk with one group. They walked in to the river and then the fun began! Ben always wanted to go first and was really up for the challenge. Caitlin and Sarah gave every slide a go-and everyone had an outdoor shower. At the final slide Mrs Brown had to swim across the plunge pool to rescue Oskar's boot which had floated off-luckily Oskar was no longer inside it!
