Day 5 - we're having so much fun!

Another amazing day on the slopes for Team Brookies! Our instructors didn't want to waste a second of our skiing lessons as the conditions were so perfect so no ski exam. Instead, they'll watch us really carefully tomorrow to decide if we've done enough to pass our beginners' exam. Judging by today's fantastic skiing, that shouldn't be a problem!

It's Katie's birthday today so she enjoyed some cake at lunchtime while the whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday to her!

Last night's bum boarding was fantastic fun with all the children screaming loudly as they zoomed down the slope! And it was Mrs Bell who took the honours in the P7 teachers' race but by the smallest of margins! Tonight we're off shopping for pressies - any requests?!

Thanks for all your comments - keep them coming!
