Balgreen has landed!

After a late start, a quick toilet break and approximately 217 "Are we there yets", Balgreen has made it to a very snowy Lagganlia.  Everyone (including the teachers!) has behaved extremely well and displayed superb Balgreen manners.  This was noticed by the bus drivers and the staff at Lagganlia. Well done Balgreen!

Here are a few pictures of the journey so far:








The Dorms

We have all settled into our dorms and have helped each other to make our beds. Everyone has worked well as a team to make sure their rooms are neat and tidy.  Here's what some had to say about the experience:

"It was hard being on the top bunk and trying to make the bed but I did it!" - Katy

"It was good because we worked together and we got there in the end" - Lewis

"The dorms looked really nice and the beds are really comfy." - Meya

Dinner

A Mr Thomson portion

Lots of us have been beginning our food adventure and have been trying new things in the dinner hall: Lee, Logan, Tayyib, Lewis, Charlotte, Ellie and Jack all tried something new on their baked potato and Calum, Morgan, Lewis, Nicole, Logan, Ellie, Jack Caitlin, Shelby, Vandita, Eethan, Natalie, Alix, Imogen, Lee, William, Reece, Meya and Musab all tried apple crumble and custard for the first time! 

"It was a good food adventure"
- Eethan

Truer words could not have been spoken.

Our first activity

Our first evening activity was a scatter hunt. We had to answer questions by searching for different types of information around the camp - in the dark!  Congratulations to our winning team: The Huskies (Jack S, Jack DB, Caitlin S, Morgan and Lee).






"It was hard to find the Anderson shelter but we took a good guess and got it right!"
- Jack Stewart

Some Wee Videos Too! VERY proud of this skiing bunch!  No one could even put on skis at the start of this. Quotes of the day “We went snowboarding today. I liked sliding down the slope. It was tricky to keep my balance but I tried harder and found it got easier the higher we went up the hill.” – Katie Fisher “First I did canoeing. I just wanted to try it and I said to myself – GO FOR IT!” – Emily “I went gorge walking. It was quite cold but also fun. I liked sliding down bits of the gorge and looking at the views of the snowy mountains.” – Reece “We went gorge walking and did orienteering. The gorge walking was really cold and my boots filled with water but I liked going down the rock chutes into pools of water.” – Teegan
