We are a very proud staff group here at Lagganlia today!

We have had a very successful first day of activities, with all of the instructors singing the praises of our pupils!

We have been particularly impressed with the enthusiasm, effort and resilience shown by our pupils today. They have worked so well together in their teams, supporting each other, co-operating and encouraging each other, and approaching challenges with a positive attitude.

This morning was our first breakfast at Lagganlia, giving us the chance to practice our housekeeping skills in organising ourselves for the day, and tidying up after each other. We also had to practice our tidying skills for our first room inspection this morning. Some fairly good scores for the first day, and now no excuses for an untidy bedroom back at home!

Here are some of the activities that were carried out over the 5 different activity groups today-

• Bouldering (rock climbing)
• Mountain Biking
• Abseiling
• Snowboarding
• Skiing
• Hiking
• Kayaking
• Rafting

Our evening was rounded off with a Nightline- groups tackling a ropes course while wearing blackout goggles! A challenge, but successfully completed, thanks to some great communicating, patience and supportive teamwork!

Its been a bit windy here today, but that hasn’t got in the way of having some fantastic oppprtunities. Let’s hope tomorrow allows us the same. We hope to see a continued positive approach from our pupils too, and more praise from all our staff!

Here are a selection of photos from today- once we return, we’ll post a more comprehensive selection, from across all our activity groups.
