P6 in Hoy









The first activity that we did was gorge walking but before that we had to be sorted into groups 1, 2, and 3. Then we had to get our equipment, once we had got it we had to put it on before we could go gorge walking. Gorge walking was wet and very slippy! In Bushcraft we made fires using cotton wool and straw. At the end we cooked marshmallows and some people made theirs very burnt and some marshmallows fell into the fire. We also did archery and Mrs Johnstone got 5 bulls eyes. Orienteering was fun in some people’s opinions and some people found it boring. Lee had a great eye for spotting the tags. Raft building was fun because we learned new knots and luckily the rafts didn’t sink!  Archie and Hermione

  1. Hi again P6/7. It looks like you had a lot of fun in Hoy. It also looks like you might have got quite wet what with rafting and walking up waterfalls! I guess some of you will be commenting soon to tell us more about it. Did anyone fall in when rafting?
    Cheers! Mr Ross

  6. I really enjoyed Hoy especially the gorge walk because we got to go to a river and we were all soaking wet. After we got back we entered the hostel from the back so we were near the drying room when we got changed we had lunch. On the last day we did raft building and it was great when we went in the pier we were second group and we had to use kayak paddles. Noah

  7. I really enjoyed Hoy. My favourite part was raft building. We built a raft in 2 teams: team A and team B. we had wood, plastic barrels and rope to tie it all together. I also really enjoyed the trip to and from Hoy: on the minibus me, Callum F, Maeson and Iestyn were singing Wheels on the Bus and Bob the Builder because we didn't want to hear the Minibus songs.

  10. Hoy was very fun! I enjoyed everything. I loved bushcraft because we got to make our own fires. I liked raft building because the raft didn't sink but i got wet pushing the raft in to the side.
