Flat Stanley Visits Arbroath Abbey

Flat Stanley is visiting our class.  He arrived in an envelope last week,  together with a copy of his book explaining how he became flat.  The book was written by an author called Jeff Brown.  Flat Stanley had written us a letter explaining that he wants to find out more about where we live.  We are all taking him home so that he can get to know us better.

On Friday, 27th August we took Flat Stanley to Arbroath Abbey. Arbroath Abbey is an important landmark in Arbroath and very famous in Scottish History because of its association with the Scottish Declaration of Independence.  You can find out more at these websites:

We dressed up as Monks and Brother Andrew paid us a visit from the past and told us what life was like in the Abbey more than 800 years ago.
