Well done to all the  P3’s in Menstrie Primary. Have a wonderful and fun summer and see you all next year!!!!

Our school trip was at the National History Museum of Scotland. We had a lot of fun extending our learning about Egyptians. Before we went to the Museum we did an experiment to see if we could mummify or preserve a piece of apple. To do this we kept on sample bare and the other same had a mix of Salt and Baking Soda.

Our Results:

Ellsi ” the apply in sample one is all gooey”

Amelai C ” the apply in sample one is hairy”

Aaron ” the apple in sample two is shrunk and dry”

Kirsty ” it looks dry but its brown”

On the trip we went to a work shop. We became Egyptologists. To do this we had to show that we new lots of facts about mummies, pyramids and artefacts. We worked in teams to solve problems and make discoveries using various Egyptian objects.

Just waiting for the bus to arrive before heading back to school. Souvenirs in hand and lots of happy faces.

What I thought about the trip

Ruby: “I loved the workshop”.

Chloe: “I liked when we went to the shop to get Egyptian things”.

Well done to our P3E pupils who won prizes for their art work of traditional Scots Sangs. 

Mad Hatters all ready for the Gala Day!!
