Our PSA held the first lunchtime cafe of this session on Friday in our Dining Room.
Huge thanks to all the organisers for arranging the event, and the parent and pupil volunteers who helped run it.
Thanks also to anyone who donated any savouries or home baking, your support was very much appreciated!
The cafe made a total of £499 towards school improvements, a great amount!
Well done again everyone.
This year, all primary 5 pupils will be part of the Road Safety Community Group. Road Safety awareness is an important topic for pupils to learn about and Primary 5 are looking forward to sharing their ideas with the whole school throughout the year.
Recently, two lucky Primary 5 pupils attended City Chambers to mark the launch of Road Safety across Edinburgh for the 2018-2019 school year. Bea and Holly will be our Junior Road Safety Officers, and both had a fantastic time and even managed to get some complimentary lunch for all of their hard work. Most importantly, both returned to Broughton enthused by what they had seen and heard on the day. They recorded all of their ideas and will be sharing these with the P5 community group at our next meeting. Well done to our JRSOs on the day who were fantastic and very enthusiastic throughout!
Our final day of activities here at Lagganlia was another busy one!
We’ve had canoeing, mountain biking, gorge walking and some bushcraft skills today.
We also had a chance to buy some souvenirs in the Lagganlia shop, and rounded off our week with a brilliant disco! Some very tired, but happy campers tonight!
We’re really grateful to the staff and instructors here at Lagganlia, for the wonderful opportunities they have provided our children this week.
We’d like to thank our Broughton staff for giving their time to accompany our group, and being so supportive and encouraging with our pupils- we couldn’t do it without you!
We are also incredibly proud of our enthusiastic, supportive and resilient pupils. They really have made the most of their Lagganlia experience, and made some wonderful memories this week! We’re tired, but looking forward to coming home to share all our news! We should be back at school around 12.30- 12.45pm tomorrow.
Here are some photos of our final day’s activities.
It’s been another successful and busy day here at Lagganlia!
It’s been windy, sunny and rainy all in one day today, and we’ve had a range of different activities to enjoy! Here are some of today’s treats-
The Gorge Walk proved very popular, as always, and there were several very wet, but very happy groups returning from the gorge at various points today!
Positive reports continue from instructors and staff, and we are still seeing good co-operation, support and encouragement within all our activity groups.
We finished our evening with a Scavenger Hunt, where we worked in our activity groups to collect a range of items, and then create an artistic masterpiece with the items once collected!
It’s our last full day of activities tomorrow, so fingers crossed for good weather to help us enjoy the last outdoor opportunities of the week!
Here are a selection of today’s photos.
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-
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.
We’re here! P7 have made it to Lagganlia Outdoor Centre!
After a pleasant journey up in the coach, we arrived at 12.45.
We had lunch, then met our instructors, who helped us to explore the centre in our activity groups- great fun! We then had the challenge of making our beds, and organising our dorms. It took a bit of team work and helping each other, but we got those beds made eventually!
We had a delicious dinner, then did a Scatter Course in the dark. We had to run around the centre, finding the answers to a set of clues- tiring stuff!
We’re now looking forward to our first full day of activities tomorrow- let’s hope the weather is kind!
Here are some photos of our first day!
