Orkney Outdoor Learning Programme (week 5) 22nd - 26th June 2015

The first half of this week saw myself, Dave and Mick working on Hoy with both Firth and Evie Schools. The school pupils were participating in a residential setting.

During the week, Firth and Evie pupils participated in coasteering, bushcraft, gorge walking and tyrolean crossing sessions. According to the feedback, the puipls particularly enjoyed both the tyrolean crossing and coasteering.

On the Thursday, myself, Mick, Dave and Chris were all on the mainland running a range of activities for Glaitness School. Based on the Peedie sea. The pupils participated in bushcraft, canoeing and climbing tower sessions. The local paper even turned up to get some shots of the activities which are to be published in the forthcoming newspaper publication.

Another great week with some fantastic pupils and teachers alike.

Next week we will be working with the Hoy Development Trust before packing up and heading to the Mainland for the July programme.
