P5/6/7 supports Children in Need
Thank you for your generous donations for ‘Children in Need’. The total amount raised by Elphinstone Primary for this very worthwhile cause is £100! ‘Be a Champion’ was the theme this year and the pupils’ champions and as you can see from P5/6/7 photos below, their costumes were varied and splendid!
Session 2015-2016 Ms Jack
Posts from 1st September will be for P5/6/7- Ms Jack’s class for session 2015-2016.
Chilling
Last activities over and more experiences to tell you when kids come home. They have loved it!
Lunch over and children now chilling on grass or having last run around in the enormous grounds while we wait for bus to arrive. Will let you know when we’re on our way.
See you soon! Expect tired but happy children and loads of washing!

Rise and shine campers!
We were so lucky yesterday with the hot weather. Today a bit drizzly but it hasn’t dampened our spirits. Having such a good time, we don’t want it to end.
After such an active day children were really exhausted and so after lights out at 10:15pm the camp fell silent. Zonked!
This morning’s breakfast disappeared quickly! Many positive comments from the pupils on the great food which is always served with a cheery smile by camp staff.
Today’s last activities are wall climb and zip wire. Then lunch and home!
Missing names added
Missing names from previous children’s comments have been added. Everyone was included…nobody was missed out!
Terrific Thursday!
It was a very busy full on, action-packed day with many more challenging and fun activities. Fencing, blind trail, high ropes, abseiling and team games are just a few. Parents and carers, you will be as proud as Mrs Berry and I when you hear of the children’s incredible achievements! Many conquered their fears in jaw- dropping, astounding and daring tasks. Totally fearless! Great fun to do and watch.
Many of the activities required the children to work together in teams to successfully complete a task. Everyone managed so well in their activity groups to support and cheer each other on.
Well done Elphinstone P6/7 for your fantastic manners and behaviour throughout this camp trip. You’ve been brilliant!
The camp staff have been superb with the children. Their good humour and boundless enthusiasm really shone through and helped make these days so positive, and the activities very entertaining! We can’t praise them enough.
More pupil comments to follow.
