We have been having a great time at camp and we have been doing lots fun activities

Today we have been on a forest walk, a zip-wire and have done problem solving  in our groups.  On the zip-wire everyone had a great time and were howling like wolves, but it was pretty scary!!

In the evening we did a scavenger hunt and did a water balloon challenge.  The camp leaders dropped our water balloons from the top of the building and only 2 survived!!

We have made lots of new friends in our dorms and we wanted to make friendship bracelets for them.

We are looking forward to a great day tomorrow!

Bob Clelland, retired janitor of Tranent Primary, kindly offered to help the eco committee to build a plastic bottle greenhouse.  He masterminded the design and worked with different groups of children to complete it.  All the children brought in 2 litre plastic bottles, nearly 1800 of them, and under Bob’s guidance cut them to the required size.  The children then put the bottles onto canes and fixed them to the framework.  The whole project only took 4 weeks thanks to Bob.

P4T enjoyed a fantastic day at Hirsel Estate, Coldstream in Berwickshire, learning about farming and the ‘farm to fork’ process. As well as finding out about the crops and food grown on the estate, we had great fun running through the enormous maize fields, beside stalks 9 feet tall, and hiding inside the ‘Magic Tree’!  We picked maize and enormous sunflowers and also fed the highland cows. We even had time to make tasty apple scones to take home! A very active and informative day and a brilliant experience! Highly recommended for a family day trip!

Although many pupils said they didn’t like brown bread, in a class blind tasting experiment, we discovered that most children couldn’t tell the difference between white and brown bread!
