Today we visited McManus galleries and took part in a creative learning workshop.  We visited two different exhibitions based on Dundee past and present.  We made sketches of artefacts and things of interest in the galleries.  It was great to finally see some of the history of Dundee as we have been talking and learning so much about this, this term.  We then used our sketches to create print block.  We etched a sketch into a print block, then rolled the block with ink and printed it onto a group sheet.  This was great fun! The finished prints showed all the different things we had looked at in the galleries relating to Dundee.  We then took a little trip over to the D.C. Thomson building where we show lots of thing relating to the journalism industry in Dundee.  We also had our picture taken with 3 Oor Wullies.  We then walked around the Houf- the oldest cemetery in Scotland. Next we walked to the city square where we ate our lunch, looked at the fountains and the Caird Hall.  We learnt about James Caird who built the hall in 1914.  From there we went to see the Dandy and Mini the Minx statues and finally the penguins outside the city churches.  It was a fun-packed day, where we learnt lots about our city, saw important and significant landmarks (even the Law hill, Tay Rail Bridge, Discovery, V7A and Slessor gardens from the bus) but the best bit was seeing 6 Oor Wullies!
