Day 3 started with a delicious breakfast of pancakes, giving everyone plenty of energy for the activities ahead. Groups took part in archery, caving and the low-ropes course this morning.
We’ve had a very successful time on our Ganaway residential. It’s been wonderful to see the children growing in confidence and teamwork throughout the trip. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back at HPS and we’re sure you’re looking forward to hearing all their stories!
An amazing second day at Ganaway! The morning was spent tackling the very wet and muddy obstacle course…there were lots of laughs, slippery moments and brilliant teamwork.
In the afternoon, it was off to the forest for a competitive game of laser tag. The children had a great time darting between trees, hiding from the other team and planning their strategies. Lots of excitement and friendly competition!
We’re so proud of how well the pupils are working together and encouraging one another.
We’re looking forward to another fun-filled morning tomorrow.
P6 arrived safely and have had a fantastic first day at Ganaway Activity Centre. After settling in, they jumped straight into the adventure taking part in two exciting activities including zip line, high ropes, archery and rock climbing. The smiles and laughter said it all as they challenged themselves and cheered each other on.
This evening, everyone gathered for a talent show where we were treated to lots of drama, dancing and jokes.
It’s been a wonderful start to the trip and we’re all looking forward to more adventures tomorrow!
Day 4 started with our final meal at the hotel, with our bags packed we set of into Edinburgh City Centre.
We walked up the royal mile and explored Edinburgh Castle. Being able to witness the one o’clock gun was a highlight.
After eating lunch, in the sun outside the castle, we walked along the royal mile and explored the gift shops. We are all most at the ferry port, next stop Holywood Primary School.
See you all soon.
We had a GRRRRREAT time at Blair Drummond Safari Park. The children / Mrs Gibson were particularly excited about the lemur park and had a ball driving through the monkey and lion enclosure.
Volcano Falls Adventure Golf rocked and the staff commented on the pupils’ excellent behaviour!
Off to bed now and looking forward to visiting Edinburgh Castle tomorrow.
Started the day with a hearty breakfast and with lunches in hand, boarded the bus for Dynamic Earth. The children enjoyed learning about life from the beginning of time and participating in a workshop all about life in Space.
After some lunch, we all headed to Deep Sea World, the highlight was watching the seals get fed and the shark tunnel.
The next stop was bowling, after some spares, strikes and a few gutter balls, we all headed back home for dinner at the hotel.
The weather is looking great for the trip to the safari park tomorrow.
We’re settled in the hotel and have enjoyed a delicious two course meal. It’s been a long but ‘souper’ day! Some very happy but tired faces. Heading to bed soon to be ready for a fun-filled day tomorrow.
We had a few sleepy heads on the bus after our early start this morning, including Mr Field! P7 enjoyed a fantastic time at Glasgow Science Centre, learning about our solar system at the Planetarium and exploring illusions and science experiments. All well fed and back on the bus to the hotel. Watch out Edinburgh here we come!
Each day, (WiFi permitting!) we hope to upload a few photographs to keep you up to date with our trip to Edinburgh. We hope you enjoy looking at them.
Where are we going?
Having some fun crate stacking at the high ropes.
The P6s put on a great talent show this evening. We had a range of talents on show from gymnastics and dancing, singing and acting, to comedy and magic. The judges were very impressed with all the performances. A big well done to all the pupils who took part!
The talent show was followed by an impromptu disco (led by Mr Field 🕺).
There are some very tired looking pupils who’ll be heading to bed very soon! They’ll see you all about 12:30pm tomorrow!
Tonight’s menu consisted of chicken burgers and twisted fries followed by ice cream and jelly. Everybody is feeling pretty full right now!
Tackling the assault course, following the night line and scaling the high ropes course. The afternoon has been very busy…and a little muddy.
Everyone has had great a morning and has done really well taking part in all the activities!
They’re now getting ready to attack the assault course or scale the high ropes!
I’d tell you the best topping for pizza but it seems too cheesy!
After a night during which some pupils had more sleep than others, everyone enjoyed a very tasty fry with a selection of cereals and toast for breakfast!
The pupils are currently taking part in their first activity of Day 2.
The pupils have had an absolute ball on their first day at Ganaway. There were some very tired looking children as they headed off to bed.
They’re looking forward to another fun filled day…and having a fry for breakfast!
Second activities have been completed. Pupils have landed in the “drop zone”, swooshed along the zip line, been tagged with lasers and scaled then climbing wall. (I’m not sure who had more fun at laser tag, the pupils or Mr Field!)
A dinner of burger and chips, followed by chocolate cake and ice cream was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
The pupils are enjoying a little free play at the moment before they’ll settle down for a movie night (and some more sweets!)
