Final Thoughts

Hello everyone, here is our last post.  We are now back at home/school and have recently put some final thoughts down on paper about our week away...  

Lagganlia is fun and gets some kids active as well as tired.

At Lagganlia, I had great fun at some points some of the activities were a bit hard, tricky, edgy and daring but I enjoyed it anyway.

I really enjoyed it and I learnt a lot about nature/animals on the hill walk.

I really enjoyed Lagganlia because it was like having a big holiday with my year and the activities were awesome.

It has been a great trip where I have learned lots about myself and there was lots of amazing moments I’ll never forget.

I really enjoyed it because I got to do lots of different things that I have never done before.

Lagganlia was extra-ordinary, the best trip ever.

The best part of Lagganlia was all the activities and spending time with other people from other classes.  It was really sad leaving but I was happy to get back and see my cat, dog and family.

Lagganlia is a chance you can’t miss.  You have so much fun and you get to know more people. It also teaches you helpful things you can use in the future.

I learned how to cooperate more and work as a team. I found the hill climb really tricky but I enjoyed it at the same time.

My favourite activity was kayaking because I did not fall into the cold water and it was fun.

The trip to Lagganlia was fun and I learned a lot of things from our instructor when we were in biking and my chain broke.  In kayaking, I was called the Beast of the Pond!

The hardest activity was probably the mountain biking when we had to try and do Andy’s Challenge and cycle up the really big and steep slope because your legs would get really sore and tired.

The highlight of Wednesday was going on the tree climb.  I was shaking all the way up but managed to ring the bell at the top.  When I reached the top, I hugged the tree.

In Lagganlia, I had so much fun and all the instructors were very nice.  We fell over a lot and collapsed a ton.  I hope I can go back some day.  I also hope the instructors and teachers had as much fun as I did.  After Lagganlia, I feel more confident and more individual.

Wonderful last thoughts everyone!  A huge thank you needs to be said to all the adults (Mrs Smith, Mrs Miller, Mrs Gray, Mrs Dufort, Mr Macnaughton, Mr McKinnon and Mrs Cairns) who worked exceptionally hard that week and in the time leading up to our week away.  We enjoyed it as well!

Friday

                          
On Friday morning we all got up and took the bed sheets off our beds and took them downstairs and put them in the right baskets. We then had breakfast and made our lunches. We made sure to pack EVERYTHING. Once we packed everything we went outside until the bus finally arrived. Then it was time to leave Lagganlia and it was really sad and I’m glad that I didn’t put my luggage on the wrong bus like before. When we got on the bus it was about forty minutes till we got to the cinema. We didn’t have time to watch a film on the bus before the cinema so we were singing. We all started singing ‘Let It Go’ and Mr MacKinnon said if there was any more Frozen songs we were walking home. The bus dropped us off at the cinema and we got to watch Avengers 2! Which everyone enjoyed. It was really good sitting in a chair with popcorn and a drink. After the movie we got on the bus and watched the Lego Movie and Despicable Me 2. I slept half way through the movie. Then we stopped in Golspie for late lunch around 3 o’clock. Once we set off again we had the radio on. At around half 5 we got to Scrabster. We out our bags away and got our tickets and waited for the boat for 45minutes. When we finally got on the boat we had our tea and waited until everyone was done to get seconds. A lot of people were sick on the boat. It was a bit rough on the way back but we managed it just. After a while we went outside because we were interested when the boat was bumpy. I taught my friends a dance I learned from my cousin and Mrs Dufort joined in and it was fun! After 1 hour and 55 minutes we were finally home and got collected by our parents.

 

Review Night 2015

Review Night 2015

Our final night together is always lots of fun as the groups independently come up with a play/song or other creative way of presenting and sharing their week's highlights with each other.  This is always very memorable.  Well done everyone!
