Primary 7/6 class project this term has been World War II.  We visited the World War II exhibition at Kelvingrove Museum earlier in the term and the children studied how people had lived through the blitz in London and Clydebank. 

As part of their project the class, with the help of a former pupil, have built an Anderson Shelter in the school grounds.  They were shown how to measure wood to form a frame which they then cut and nailed together.  They also measured the corrugated iron sheets and watched whilst the pieces were cut to size.  They helped to screw these into place and then had the daunting task of filling sandbags.  The Anderson Shelter is now finished and only requires a coat of paint to camouflage it from the “enemy”.

Everyone had a great couple of afternoons and a big thank you goes to Mr Hier and his team.  We look forward to returning after the summer to see how it looks.
