Remembering our Community

In Primary 7 we have been learning all about World War 2. We have thoroughly enjoyed this topic and have been keen to find out more about the soldier’s that fought in our local area.
Our teachers got in touch with the lady who has created the Fallen Heroes’ in Arbroath and district Facebook page. She very kindly passed on the research that she had carried out for the soldiers from the Carnoustie area who had fought and died in WW1.
We spent time looking at old maps of Carnoustie to find out where these soldiers had lived and then created rocks dedicated to each individual soldier to place at the War Memorial in their memory.

P2/3 and P3 Trip to Newton Farm

Last week  P2/3 and P3 went to visit Newton Farm. We had a great time! Our favourite bits were feeding the baby kids and lambs. We made our own butter but we weren’t allowed to eat it so we are going to make it again in school so that we can eat it with some toast and jam. We also got to watch some sheep being sheared, it was really funny because afterwards they didn’t recognise each other and started to fight with each other. There were lots of other animals on the farm that we got to meet, there were chickens, a mirco pig, alpacas, cows, Highland cows and dogs.

    

P4 visit to Discovery centre

We visited the ship Discovery which Captain Scott used to sail to the Pole. Some of the Kids were allowed to dress up in costumes from the past and the present. We got to see how the sailors lived on the ship and what other equipment was used on the voyage. We also walked around the centre which had an exhibition of people and animals that live on the cold lands. We also got to watch an old fashioned movie from the time, showing the people living and working in the cold.
