Transition Sports

On May 27th P7 visited Picky to share sports with all the other pupils in Orkney who will be attending KGS after summer. It was a very enjoyable day with lovely weather. We were divided into 4 groups with pupils from other schools and rotated round 4 activities - Badminton, Netball, Rugby and Athletics.

 

 

 

 

 

Preparing and tasting our fruit and vegetables

Can you name these fruit and vegetables?

As part of our Health and Well-being work, we have identified and tasted a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.  Can you name the ones we tried today?

Old Orkney Trip

Recently P7 dressed up in Old Orkney costume and visited the ruin of Langalour at Redland in Firth. There were interesting stories to be told.

Mr Bichan had learned these from the late Mr Scott, who used to live at Redland.

 

 Here we all are outside the ruin.

 

We then went to Corrigall Farmhouse Museum. Here are photogarphs of us doing various activities there, ending with a ceilidh in the barn.

Goodbye from Nethy Bridge

Our last evening!  It is Katy's birthday.  Tomorrow, as we travel, we will celebrate Joe's.  We've had a grand time.  Thank you to everyone who made this possible for us.

Day Four, Nethy Bridge

Last night finished with a camp fire and sausage barbecue (Orkney style - which means it rained lightly all the way through).  Today we've had our last day of activities at Nethy Bridge, with groups taking part in the Silver Maze, Dry Slope Skiing, Climbing, Abseiling, Canoeing and Archery.  Our friends from the other two school left today, so we have had dinner on our own, and had a good chance to rummage around  the drying room recovering our shoes and clothes.  Now we are ready to spend our last evening together watching a good film.
