Before and after strawberry bed at gardening club, and we have frogspawn!! Outdoor learning at its best @Dumbarton_Acad

Sad to be coming to the end of our week. Kids had a great time- they have learned new skills, determination, independence and self confidence; it has been a privilege to bring them to Italy. Some of the most helpful, polite and respectful young people about⁦@Dumbarton_Acad⁩

Some fresh snow, sleet and mixed weather today, which meant legs working harder and gloves getting wet but they did brilliantly, and all made more progress. Pizza night out tonight, quiz night part 2, and we can’t believe only 2 more days skiing left! @Dumbarton_Acad

Piste conditions near perfect, and some of us did a quick run into France before lunch! 🇫🇷 Then back down to Italy for lunch Amazing progress from all our young people, learning a new skill and showing resilience, grit, determination and big big smiles!!

What’s skiing without some Apres! @Dumbarton_Acad

Learning quickly! Beautiful snow conditions and quiet pistes
