P7 Dounans Camp – Day 2

Hello West Barns!

What a day we’ve all had. We’ve been so busy today, in our different groups
we’ve been involved in lots of activities – a half day hike, nightlife, archery,
raft-building pole climb, tree climb and orienteering.

No time for a group blogging session tonight as our pupils have their class time with
Richard Taylor, a youth worker from our cluster.

I have been sharing all of your messages with our pupils so keep them coming. When we
aren’t in our activities we are basically eating one of our four meals a day or
hanging out with new friends.

Another busy day to come tomorrow . . . . let’s hope for another good night’s sleep.

P7s Have Landed

Hello West Barns!

Greetings from Dounans camp. Our P7’s arrived safe and well at Dounans and have had
a great start to their activity week. Here are a few photos of our first day. Keep
checking back each night to see what we’ve been up to.

I am meeting with our P7’s this evening (haven’t seen some and they will be blogging their experiences
to share with you all.

Mrs Hay

Daniel – My favourite activity today was the Cat Walk.

Zak – I really enjoyed the Mohawk Walk activity because I like a challenge and I liked
the obstacle course.

Sean – I enjoyed the Cat Walk today. I was really nervous about climbing up the tree but I used
my adrenaline rush to my advantage and went as far up as I could!

Struan – My favourite activity today was the Cat Walk. I enjoyed making my way around the obstacle
course.

Lee – I did archery today and our team leader put balloons up on the target board and I managed pop
two of them.

Mya – Today I enjoyed the Living Outdoors activity because I got to make a campfire using flint.

Health Week and Potted Sports!

What a busy week we had during Health Week. We had many visitors from our local community who provided pupils with lots of activities to keep them healthy. As part of our Health Week we joined together with pupils from the Nursery for our Potted Sports Morning. What great fun we all had.

Pick Your Own at West Barns Primary School

What a busy ter we have had in our new school garden. The raised beds provided by Sustaining Dunbar have been really effective and the children have loved growing our own vegetables. In fact we have been so successful that we are offering our local community the oppotunity to ‘Pick Your Own’ spinach and rocket.
