We are taking part in a brilliant Global Citizenship project that can make a real difference: SEND MY FRIEND TO SCHOOL

We have started learning about schooling and life in Tanzania and comparing that to what our lives are like.

“All children should have the right to go to school” Naomi P6

“Now I know how lucky I am to go to school.”  Ross P5

” I want to help the people who can’t go to school” Eloise P4

” Now I realise how lucky we are”  Jessica P4

We will be taking part in the 2012 campaign and have a visit planned from an MP in June who will take our messages to David Cameron the Prime Minister.  We will keep you updated on our progress.

Nature Detectives

Posted on by

As part of our John Muir Award we are discovering and exploring the forest.  Today we went out on our usual weekly forest school lesson but we were accompanied with Richard English, the countryside ranger.  We had to complete 3 levels to be a nature detective.  We discovered lots about a forest that is very familiar to us.  Mrs Leslie will continue to help us explore the

forest more deeply using our senses.  We are going to be taking part in a conservation project…..watch this space for details.

In quad biking we had helmets and harness .In my opinion and lots of others I think it the quad biking track was rather small, they had two quite fast quads but in the end it was really fun!

This was similar to our track

Dylan said the good thing about the disco was when Dylan and Gabriel did the conga but apart from that DYLAN AND MOST OF THE BOYS HATED IT SOO BAD.   boooooo.    Sascha and the boys were sitting in the corner and talking about try to escape through a window   (thats how bad they thought the disco was.  I thought the disco was realy fun. And there was good songs for me and The other girls to dance too. M and Sarah really like the song the club is alive by JLS.

Then at 9:00pm the disco was over and all of us went back to our dorm and got ready for bed.

Breakfast

After a wee stop over in Jedburgh all arrived safely, they went straight to quad biking.  Scrap heap challenge was the evening activity.  All made their own beds, some with a little encouragement.  The boys awoke at 5.30am to be promptly told to go back to bed!  At 6.30am everyone was up and getting dressed.  The carpet can no longer be seen, clothes are strewn! 

Cooked breakfasts all round this morning including spaghetti hoops on toast. Pupils have already visited the camp shop and staff are stocking up on chocolate for energy. It is beautiful dry weather at Kingswood this morning.  More quad biking, archery and climbing, all before lunch, they WILL sleep tonight!
