In the past, it was a tradition that the whole school used to decamp to the beach for the day, often over to East Lothian to Seacliff or Tyninghame beaches, and so in honour of Cargilfield's 150th anniversary, the children headed off to Silver Sands in Aberdour on Friday for a wonderful few hours of fun on what was a gloriously warm and sunny September day.Both children and teachers alike had an unforgettable time together building sandcastles, having water battles, and skimming stones in the water, under wonderful blue skies - the perfect weather for the beach! There were also lots of beach games and Mrs Hare did lots of beach art for those who were keen.It was a memorable day indeed for our school community, and one that reconnected us to our past, and maybe this might become an annual tradition, judging by the smiles on the children's faces as they piled in the minibuses and headed back to school.
