Dalguise was so great, it was the best school trip yet.The actavaties were great from the catwalk to the zip wire.It doesn't matter what activaty it is because they are all great.Between the activaties you would do some crazy songs.The journey to Dalguise feels like forever to get to but five mins to get back.The selection of sweets from the tuck shop is great.The disco was great i did n't think i would have liked it but I acctualy did.I did n't have a favourite activaty because I liked them all.

I had a great time at Dalguise it took us about an hour to get there and on the bus we worked out what we were going to have for are feast each night. When we arrived we got a nice welcome from AJ and Bam Bam they were our Groupies I personaly think we had the best Groupies. The entertainment at Dalguise at night was really fun the first night we had cluedo we were so unlucky we were running to AJ and he blew the whistle to stop the game. That nightwe were sound asleep Chris woke up are whole dorm, not content with this he then went and woke up all of the outher boys.
Hamish L6R
Dalguise was really good, and it didn't take us such a long time to get there. Our groupies were really cool,they were called AJ and Bam Bam. They took us to our dorms. There was six or four to a dorm. Then we went outside and went for a tour around all the things. For tea we had chips and pizza. After tea we went to the tuck shop to buy sweets and fizzy drinks. We had an evening entertainment which was cluedo.

The l6 Dalguise trip was brilliant it took about an hour to get there when we got there there was a big group of people waving to us.When we got off the bus wee got are luggage and went and met are groupies. Are groupies name's were AJ and Bam bam both off them were really funny.After they talked to us they took us to are dorms we had ten minutes to unpack ang get into reasonable cloths for are first activity. My first activity was the trapese are instructers were Keir and Vicky they told us everythging we needed to know so we didnt get hurt.Then we went up to the top of the hill and went down the best part of the trapese for me was when Miss Alexander went down it and screamed really loud it was really funny.there was tuns more activities like the challenge course, absailing,survivour catwalk sequioa scrambe,giant swing,sensary trail,forest trail and some other stuff. On the first night we played cludeo in the dark and while some of the groupies dressed up as a culprit we adventually found out who it was it was Miss Mop with the spoon in the wet room it was really fun there was 50%50 and the disco it was great and i had an amazing time and i wishedi never came home because i enjoyed it so much

When we arrived at dalguise we met the groupies. Their names were A.J and Bam Bam. A.J said his name standed for apple juice but nobody beleived him. We had to go up a huge hill carrying our suitcases to get to our dorms. It was very hard. When we got to the top we went inside our dorms and unpacked our suitcases. There was a lot of unpacking! There were about 18 rooms altogether! The boys were separated from the girls. For the activities we were split into 6 groups. I was in group 5. For the first activity we had the Forest Trail which was a long walk through the woods and they told us stories about the people who lived here. There was a very intersting story. It was about a bird who grew a huge tree. We had loads of other activities such as sensory trail, catwalk, mudpit, challenge course, tunnel of doom, zipwire, abseiling, survivor and some more. On the first day we found a football and we played football sometimes. We had some late night acticites and we play cluedo in the dark it was very fun. The food we had there was brilliant. We had delicious food. Sadik L6R
The trip to Dalguise this year was amazing!There was so many things to go on. My first activity was the Challenge Course and the Mud Pit.The Challenge Course was fun some things easier than others.The Mud Pit was one of the best activities at Dalguise I fell in a a mud hole which came past my waist!Our group leaders were A.J.(apple Juice)and Bambam.They were really funny.One of my favourite activities was the GIANT SWING it was so SCARY!On the first night we played real cluedo of course no-one had really been murdered!The next night we played for our evening entertainment we played 50/50.One of the activities was the catwalk on this activitie you had to climb these staples on a tree then walk along the plank to the next tree, then u had to climb more staples and then walk along an other plank but what made it difficult was that the plank wasn't flat it was the shape of a log!Another of my favourite activities was the Soycoya Scramble on this activitie you had to climb this ladder and then you you to climb this climbing wall and then you have to climb a rope laddder up the staples on the tree and then we had to ring the bell at the top!

On the first night Henry woke up Chris and Chris decided he would wake up everybody else in our room. It was 3 o'clock in the morning but we thought it was 7 o'clock. Jamie and Hamish had showers and Chris went and woke up all the boys in the other room. We were all ready for a day of activities when Mrs Macabe came in shouting saying it was only 4 o'clock in the morning. We had to get back to sleep. There were lots of fun activities but I really liked the Mc Gregor Challenge Course and the mud pit. I went head first into the mud pit. The cat walk was fun and lots of people made it to the top. The giant swing was fun. I was trying to pull the rope to make us go swinging but I was pulling the wrong bit of the rope. When I did pull the rope the right way we went down swinging straight away. I have to say it was fun. There was a forest trail when we walked around a forest and got told lots of story's. The songs we learnt were random but very fun. There was lots of different waves like the cheeky wave, the big wave and so on. Dalguise is amazing !!!!

The journey to Dalguise seemed much longer than it actually was because we were all very excited. When we got there we were introduced to our groupies who were Bambam and AJ. Then we were taken on a long walk up to our dorms. All we did that night was unpack our stuff, have dinner and do a night time activity which was Cluedo in the dark. We had to find out who killed Miss Dalguise's frog, find out what they killed it with and where they killed it. Then we went to our dorms where we ate sweets and partied all night. The next morning we were woken up at 8:00am. We had breakfast then we went to the first activity for our group that was the zipwire. We were harnessed onto a thick piece of wire then you stepped of a very very very high platform and went shooting along the wire and along to another platform. Each day went like this but with different activities. We all had a great time. Betty L6R.
On the 23rd of march L6R went to Dalguise. I thought Dalguise was great fun but one or two people went home early because the were home sick. On the way there we talked on the bus. When we got there we met our groupies. Our groupies names were Bambam and AJ short for aplle juice but he told us he liked orange juice better. Bambam and AJ tought us loads of songs and ryms. Our groupies showed us were all the activeties.
Christopher L6R
Dalguise was great. We did lots of exciting and scary things. I was in a dorm of six. I don't know if this was a good thing or not. The most exciting thing was the Giant Swing. The mud pit was also one of the best things that happened. I was so pleased that I got to the top of the Catwalk. The games at night were also very fun. The first night we played cluedo outside. The next one we played 50/50 and the last night we had a Disco. Our day was planned with 2 activities in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. It was good that my friends were either in group 3 or group 4 because we could talk about them at night. It was so fun at night after the night activities but the only bad thing was that there were night guards but that didn't bother us too much because we could stiil talk and have sweets.
Catriona L6R
when I went to Dalguise the first thing I got to do was get to know the dormatory I was in and get unpacked. Then we were told to come outside and we learnt a song. After we learnt the song we went up to the lunch hall to have tea. Then we went to our dormatorys to get warmer cloths on. When we came back we got into our groups and played human cludo and found out how Mrs Dalguise's frog had been killed. We did that till 9:00pm. then we were alloud to stay up till 10:00pm. Everyone in my dormatory couldent go to sleep because the dormatory next door were being very noisy.My favourite part was the giant swing. Pallavi L6R
I thought that the trip to Dalguise was amazing!We all had so much fun.My favourite part of the trip was meeting our groupies called A.J and Bamm Bamm.But before we met them, we had a long bus journey to get there.After we had met our leaders they gave us a tour of the place.Then it was time to go for tea,soon after we played Cluedo in the dark and then went to bed.We were awoken in the morning by Bamm Bamm and then taken up for lunch.My first activity was Surviver with Ash,what you had to do was build a shelter in a certain amount of time using only the objects given.This was good fun!Next we had Absailing with Amber.Absailing is when you clinb up stairs to get to the top and then walk down backwards.this i thought was quite scary.We did a few more things that day but if i told you all of them we'd be here for ages! Catherine
At my trip to Dulguise I did so many great things!! I went on the Giant Swing and went to the top on Secoiquia Scrambel and The Catwalk. I also got stuck in the Mudpit but the food was good so that made up for it. We also sang songs with our groupies A.J.(Apple Juice) and Bam-Bam.We had nighttime activities like Cludo, 50/50 and on the last night, a disco.It was so much fun.

Our trip to Dalgiuse was a great expereance. We went there for a weekend from Friday to Monday and had a great time. We left the school at around 2 o'clock and the bus journey took an hour but we finally got there. When we got there we meet our groupies AJ and Bam-Bam. First we met up with our groupies then went to our dorms to pack out our stuff. Then we got a tour around to place. The next day we done our first activeatys. The another days went past and it didnt fell that long.Finally we had to leave but had fun.
Johnathan Forbes L6R
Dalguise was the best!
My favourite ride was defnetly the giant swing. I am scared of hights so when I Alice had to tell me about a par 4. the ride was so scary at first but it was so fun!
One of my most favourite memories was when I first meet Bam Bam and A.J (our groopies).A.J told us that Bam Bam would do anything for chocolate.It was really funny when Bam Bam started doing tricks for the chocolate!
India L6A
Dalguise was just amazing! We left on the bus at around 2 o'clock, and an hour on the bus didn't exactly go fast, but boy was it worth it!! When we got there we got off the bus and got our bags and then we met our groupies AJ and Bam Bam, I personally think we had the best, and not to mention the funniest, groupies. They were so good!!
So they took us to our dorms and we got all our stuff out and what not, and then we went for a tour, it was so cool. There was loads of different places to go and see. It's actually very interesting.
There are evining entertainments, Cluedo, 50/50 and Disco, they were so good with all the pranks played and all the running around, it was brilliant. The activities were well cool aswell, there was Catwalk, Challenge Course, Sensory Trail and many more, and my personal favourite, the giant swing!
The meals were also not bad aswell, pizza... well, actually it was pretty good, but not all just junk food. But there is more than one thing to choose from eahc night, same with breakfast and lunch
So it was just amazing, it is one of the funnest experiences in L6, it was just... amazinggg!!! I definately think the L5's and everybody else that goes there will love it. Well I did...
Owen L6A
Dalguise is amazing!! It is the best I have ever been on. The groupies (A.J. and Bamm-Bamm) and all 9 activities from giant swing to challenge course were great. In the dorms we had midnight feasts every night!
Calum L6A
Dalguise is the best place in the world. There is about 15 activities
my favourite was the giant swing. That was everyone's favourite though, it feels like it snaps when you pull the chord.
Matthew L6A.

rory L6A,
Dalguise was AMAZIN-G! The trip on the bus was very long but it was gr8 to wave by to our parents. once we arrived our groupies(the maddest people on earth!) welcomed us and showed us to our dorms. Once we changed into suitable clothes we did our first activitie(our group went acseiling. It was pretty high so don't look down when you're at the top.)There were gr8 activities but the best by far was the McGregor challende course! The mud pit is great and it's fun splatting teachers with mud-Miss Alexander.The only downer is it takes ages to get the mud out of your hair!The worst part about Dalguise is the food but you'll get over it. You learn lots of gr8 songs that are mad!
Olivia L6A
Dalguise was great fun!It took us about an hour to get there.When we got there we were given a big hello by our groupies AJ and Bam Bam. My first activity wasw the Challenge Course where you got all muddy!It was great fun!There were other activities such as zipwire,sequia scramble,sensory trail,forest trail,giant swing, survivor,abseiling and the catwalk.You went to your dorms at 9:00pm and had to go to sleep by 10:00pm and if you weren't quiet then the night-time staff would come and shout at you. On the first night my dorm got shouted at because we were to loud!The bad thing was, that you had to be outside by 8:00am so we were always really tired in the mornings!You got to bring £7 to spend at the tuck shop to buy sweets but on the last night you cou;d by souviners.I didn't have a favourite activity because i loved them all!!

The food is great the staff are fun and everything would appeal to everyone. GO NOW OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!Angus, L6A
Dalguis was just amazinggggg! The best activiy was the giant swing, I had to pull the rope. The giant mud pit was fantastic, there was a giant puddle that soaked you! The tuk shop is very cheap so do not bring lots of money each night. You really do not want to stay up late. Callum L6A
On the 23rd of March we went to Dalguise everyone was so excited. The journey only took an hour so we were there after that.Then everyone hurried to there dormitories and got changed.Then everyone came rushing out of there dormitories and started taking pictures of our gropies AJ and BamBam. We had great fun and i definitly would go back.
Mariam L6A
dalguise is great; you're never not doing anything, whether you are singing a comedy song or whizzing at 100mph you'll still be having the time of your life.My favourite song was "TARZAN" because it made me laugh when I first heard it, infact I still do!I can't say my favourite activity, they are all amazing.
Scott L6A

Dalguise is really great fun . The our instructors names were AJ and Bam Bam . When we arrived we had to go up a steep hill it was really hard . Then when we got to the dorms we had a few seconds to get unpacked and change into activity clothes. Then our instructors toured us around the places like where the abseiling is and so on. All the evining entertainment was cluedo,50/50 and disco. I enjoyed every activity.
Dalgiuse is so fun

Dalguise was the best school trip ever .I was really happy with my dorm and activaty group the activatys were great.Lauren L6A
Dalguise is the BEST!!!!!!!!! Everything was amazing and really fun. I think the mud pit was the best activity. I jumped in the biggest puddle and I got stuck and Adam had to pull me out!!At the zipwire, the instructor Elvis threw me off. He said, "Alright. On 3. 1,2." and then he threw me of the edge! Everything was amazing and One evening everyone had a sugar rush because they ate so many sweets at the tuck shop. I had 2 refreshers one after the other. I was totally hyped up!!One day we went on the forest trail which was so long but we got to hear scary stories. they were really freaky.L5s.YOU BETTER GO THERE OR ELSE I WILL!!!
Calum L6G
Dalguise is fantstic! All of it was great my dorm was great. I didn't think it would be that fun. we stayed up all night eating sweets! My activity group was the best becaus it had all my friends.Our groupies AJ apple juice and bam bam were really fun. Loads of the activities we did were amasin-G i still can't think of my favourite. The only bad thing was the bus trip it took for ages it was really boaring. Dalguise was the best trip ever!
Ronan L6G
Dalguise was the greatest trip ever.when we arrived we got a friendly greeting from our groupies,AJ and BAM BAM.We played some games when we arrived and then we went for dinner.That night we stayed up late and ate sweets.The activitities were things like abseiling and the zipwire.we also had night games like cluodo and on the last night we had a disco and everybody danced their heart out.My favourite activity was the forest trail because we could see for miles around and our leader Elvis told us scary stories and songs.another great activity was the mud pit where we could jump in the mud and put it all over our faces.i will miss dalguise and i hope next years L5s will love it as much as i did.
adamL6
dalguise was lots of fun. All the activities were brilliant. My two faveourite were the giant swing and the zip wire. I had five other people in my dorm and we had lots of fun at night. there was a tuck shop to buy lots of yummy sweets to eat at night. One I got very muddy because I did the challege course and I went in the mud pit.
My two Groupies were A.J. and Bam-Bam they were cool.
Sarah
Dalguise is so cool. There's so much stuff to do. I liked the GIANT SWING the best,even though me and Henry didn't go all the way up it was still awsome. Our groopies were totally wicked and they tought us some really cool songs,my favourite one was the tarzan one.Our groopies were callled BAM BAM and AJ a.k.a APPLE JUICE.On the second day we all had a sugar.

When L6 went to Dalguise i Didn't go ,but with the all the comments I Will say what I think sounds good or not so good. I think the giant swing sounds GREAT!! I would like to try it.
I liked the sound of the Challenge Course with the mud pit and stuff!
I think the catwalk might be a bit scary.I love Cluedo so I am a 100% I would like Cluedo!! I don't think the Disco sounds too fun. I don't really like Discos very much. Everyone says Dalguise is GREAT FUN!!! Maybe I did miss out on something.
Eilidh L6G
Dalguise was realy fun!!!!!!There are lots of activities to do they are the mudpit,the zip wire, the challenge course, the siquoia scramble,absailing,forest trail,censery trail,giant swing and the cat walk.In the eavnings we played cludo,50 50 and we had a disgo on the last night.We had loads of sweets.
Jessica l6G
Dalguise was absolutely GREAT!!!!! The food was quite nice because there were loads of choices. There was always a vegetarian meal, too. Our groupies were soooo
cool. They were called AJ and BamBam. They taught us lots of crazy (and rude!!) songs. The dorms were really good fun, with a bathroom per dorm (but not in all the chalets). There was a tuck shop which we bought sweets from. Hardly any dorms got to sleep, though mine did!!! The activities were great fun!!!! the Giant Swing was most people's favourite.
There was also a mud pit, a zipwire, an abseiling tower, a forest trail, a sensory trail and LOADS more. I didn't like the evening entertainment but most people did. Each evening activity lasted from 1 hour to 1 and a half hours. we went to our dorms about 9pm and lights were out at 10pm. There was a night patrol from 10 until we were all quiet. there were also teachers on the prowl!!! Other schools were there too, but we only saw them at mealtimes and at night activities.
Overall, dalguise was FANTASTIC!!!!! Hannah, L6G
It didn't take that long to get to Dalguise.Our groupies were called AJ and Bam Bam.They showed us to our dorms. There were either four or six in a dorm. We had loads of activates at Dalguise such as the giant swing, the zip wire,the seqouia scramble,the catwalk, the mud pit and lots more.We had a game of 50/50 at night and a game of cluedo and the disco another night.We ate loads of sweets that we got at the tuck shop before we went to sleep. I would of hated it if I missed going to Dalguise. The day before we left we could buy gifts with our money that we brought. £7 was the most money you could bring. If I got a chance to go again I definately would go.
Laura L6G
Dalguise is awsome!!!!!! You eat sweets all night but in the moring you really tired. Your groupes are AJ and BAMBAM.The activatys are reall fun. The best one i think was the mud pit.At night you play cluedo,50/50 and the disco. 50/50 ithouht was the best.You get to bring £7 to spend in the Tuck shop.You can buy sweets, drinks and on the last night you toys.you can bring sweets with you if youwant. Its fab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seumasl6G

Alice L6G
Dalguise was amazing all you L6's! I really enjoyed watching all of you challenge yourself, achieve what you thought you wouldn't and support each other. Everyone should be very proud of themselves - as your teacher I certainly am. The mud pit was my favourite activity - thanks to all of you who splashed me with mud!
Miss A
I,loved Dalguise.It was really fun!I loved the giant swing !The group leaders and "groupies" are lots of fun and I hope the L5s love dalguise as much as i did but bring more woolie clothes and layers!
