Day 3 - Who needs Speilberg and Ridley Scott when you've got the Royal Mail and the Sciennes Team?

Although we've only just managed to get some images onto this page please rest assured that we've been taking copious photographs and video footage to let the group see when we get back home.  Flip video cameras (what a great idea they were Miss Phillips!) have been used to capture some of the best moments of Lagganlia 2011.  Certain film producers might want to start looking over their shoulders with the video footage we've gathered!  Mrs "Mario Testino" Jones has been out and about capturing images of each group.  They may not look well groomed, they may not be wearing colour co-ordinated clothes and tucking your trouser legs into your socks might not look great ("that's so not stylish" according to Lucy) and there may be a pervading look of tiredness on some faces but we do have photographs which our group may well be proud to put into their end of year memory books.

We'll try to put some up when we can, but the best images are the mental 'pictures' which will remembered and recalled in the stories which will be told and re-told at dinner time tonight and at home over the next few weeks.

As we write this we can hear the sound of happy (and often damp) groups returning from sailing lessons, gorge walks, canoeing and abseiling.  There's a group of ten pupils sitting around their group leader (Nick) sharing stories and laughing (in a nice way!).  This group comprises boys and girls and members from all three P7 classes - what a wonderful thing to see and proof positive that the 'Lagganlia experience' is such a beneficial one.

The nice Royal Mail person has just delivered a handful of letters which we will give to our happy campers this evening.

Tonight's activity will be Capoeira (which will be fun because they haven't actually been told what this is - some very entertaining theories have been going around the camp since we announced it last night!).

The whole Lagganlia team wants to let their fellow P7s at Sciennes know that they miss them and that they can't wait to hear what they have been doing while we've been at camp.  A huge goodbye to Zoe in 7c - your friends here will really miss you and wish you have a safe journey home.
