We were thrilled to welcome Eoin Colfer to school today!
Eoin's 'Artemis Fowl' series (soon to be released on film🙌) is a complete favourite of our pupils. We loved every minute of the visit today - completely inspirational!

A brilliant morning push ourselves to the limits with some proper rock face climbing. Well done one and all - everyone pushing themselves (including the teachers!)

After a good sleep the early risers were treated to a beautiful walk along the coast on a glorious morning before what can only be described as a substantial breakfast!

J6 were ravenous after a busy day but kept busy by spending the evening orienteering, playing more games and having reflection time. Day 1 done - all tired, all happy!
Day 3 - it’s 1945. War is over. However this doesn’t stop Miss Vicky putting our J7’s through their paces. Punishment for not setting the breakfast tables correctly - star jumps, tuck jumps and burpees. 😱

Spirits are still high as our Millport trip comes to an end. All packed on the bus and ready for home. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

J6 slept like logs, were ravenous at breakfast, delighted with finding a real mouse in their mouse hotels and are now ready for raft building at the beach. Another gorgeous day in Millport ☀️

Today we visited a 1940’s house with the formidable Mrs Howard, sat in an Anderson Shelter, dug for victory, learned about the Blitz and explored WWII memorabilia in the museum with the incredible war veteran, Stanley.

Welcome Miss Kilgour and her new J1 class. We hope you all have a fantastic first day at Hamilton College.
We also hope that our J1 parents enjoyed their first day at school pack, containing tissues, a tea bag and biscuit!

Children worked in teams this morning as they went on a spy hunt to find the missing telephone. Well done to The Hurricanes for finding all 10 clues! Unfortunately they were also on lunch cleaning up duty 🤦🏻♀️.

To celebrate Maths Week Scotland, our J2 boys and girls are using their problem solving and strategy skills to race each other to Lego City. Based on the game Tetris, the children chose pieces of Numicon to build their road to the city.

Last activity of the day - What Wanders At Night? Setting traps to see if we can catch some nocturnal creatures. Trap checking will have to wait until the morning!
