Benmore- Thursday 24th May. Thoughts from the week…
Flora:- This week has been the experience of a lifetime- I have really enjoyed it!
Sian:- Gorge walking was fantastic. I’ve had a great time.
Erin:- Mountain biking was really good fun and it has been a very memorable week for me.
Olivia:- This week has been a week that I’ll remember for ever- it has been brilliant.
Robin:- Biking was great fun and once again I got soaked! I’ll remember this week for ever.
Carla:- I really enjoyed the gorge walk, it was really slippy and great fun. The caving was scary. The week has gone so fast, I have enjoyed every minute of it, and I have to say that kayaking was my favourite.
Joy:- It has been one of the best weeks of my life- I’d love to be able to do it again if I had the chance.
Eilidh:- We learned how to do bunny hops on the bikes today. The week has been really good fun.
Corrie:- This week has been really great- I have learned lots of new things and I would love to come back if I had the chance.
Jordanne:- I really like Benmore and if I could bring my family here, I’d love to live here.
Rosie:- The week has been great and I wish I could stay here. My favourite thing was the gorge walking.
Ailish:- It was fun making face paints in the forest. The week has been really good and I enjoyed the ropes course best.
Lucy:- Today was really fun, especially the gorge as we got soaking wet. The caves were tight to squeeze through. After that we went swimming in the loch.
Jack T.:- I’ve really enjoyed the whole week and I’m looking forward to the party tonight till 3am!!
Connor:- I enjoyed climbing up the ropes onto the board at the top, yesterday. If anyone had slipped, we’d all have fallen off!
Jack D:- Today we went to the forest and it was really fun as we had to go through tunnels and under logs. All the activities have been really fun.
David:- I enjoyed the caving today the best of all. I liked going down under ground.
Callum:- I enjoyed the caving. The best thing of the whole week was being in the caves.
Sam:- We went gorge walking and caving today. The best bit was when we had to crawl through the key hole at the top of the gorge. This was my favourite activity of the week.
Thomas:- My favourite thing from the week was probably the gorge walking. It was just really fun. Overall, Benmore has been brilliant, and much better than a week of school!
Miss Stuart:- I have loved every minute of the Benmore experience with my class. All the staff here have commented on what lovely children you are and you should be really proud of yourselves. I’m sure your parents will be too. You’ve all been so enthusiastic and energetic. It’s been a great end to the year and I will miss you all very much when you move on to secondary school. Thanks for the super memories P7!! Xx
So, that’s just about it! The week has flown past for all of us. The children have been a credit to the school, so well done to all of them. Writing the blog up each evening has been a new experience both for Benmore, and for us, but the comments that have been appearing daily have made it all worth while, so thanks to all who have supported us. I know that each and every comment has been received with pleasure and pride. Tonight, there’s just the big disco left- so I would imagine that when we get back tomorrow, there could be a few bleary eyes… I may (depending on the disco) be able to get some photos online later this evening.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
Well done p7 it has been an absoloute treat to read every day what you’ve been up to. My evenings are going to seem empty now without your blog to read. Congratulations to you all for being a credit to your school and also us parents, seems we may have done something right after all.
Ailish I can’t tell you how proud I am that you did the rope course or that it was your best moment. Overcoming a fear is a huge acheivement. Did you go caving too?
Enjoy your last night. Sadly you can;t stay and will have to come home but we are all really looking forward to seeing you.
You guys are so lucky that you will always have these wonderful memories of your trip in your last weeks together at primary school. Cherish them.
Love
Kelly family.
We share the Kelly’s sentiments.
It is obvious what a fantastic time you have had and how much you have all enjoyed it. We hope you mutts all appreciate what a great school Yester is and how lucky you are to have great teachers also. A massive thank you to Mr P and Ms S for keeping us all in touch.
Have a ball at the disco and watch out for that hair gel!
Safe journey home.
Lots of love to Jack D.

… and a slightly more restrained message from Perry’s parents….
Thanks from us too to Mr Purves and Miss Stuart for the fantastic blog, which we’ve enjoyed tremendously - you’re going to have to do a Benmore Blog every year from now on!!
See you tomorrow!
Lots of love to Robin
Mum, Dad & Perry
Great to feel so involved with what is going on at Benmore. You get a real flavour of the experience and the photos are excellent. I agree with others - the Benmore Blog must become a regular feature. With children in P7 this year and last I feel I understand what it is all about whereas last year the stories trickled out when everyone had returned.
I don’t know if I could have handled the rope climbing!
Thank you so much Mr Purves and Miss Stuart for all your hard work on the Blog. I know it has been most appreciated by all P7 parents.
See you tomorrow and enjoy the disco.
Chris Slater and the rest of the Slater clan
It has been wonderful reading about your experiences every day and seeing the photographs. I am sure a lot of the parents are very jealous! Keep up the blog. Thanks especially to Miss Stuart and Mr Purves. You wont forget these memories and will talk about them for ever. Enjoy the disco and see you all tomorrow.
Ann Lowe
Its been great to read all about your exploits. It seems everyone has had a great time. It’s really good know that you are all safe and well and happy. The blog really is worthwhile, keep it up! You have shown once again that Yester school is one of the best, you must all be very proud. Thanks to Miss Stuart and Mr Purves for keeping you safe. Really looking forward to having you home. Enjoy the disco, see you tomorrow.

I’m just back from Benmore and can i just say to the P6’s going next year that it’s absolutely fantastic!!!! The ropes course is terrifying and gorge walking makes you really wet! I would advise bringing lots of socks because i had already run out by Tuesday. Well done to Mr Purves and Miss Stuart for putting up with us all week and for giving up their time to get soaked, cold and muddy!
