On Friday morning we went to New Lanark. We were to be at school at about 8 o’clock and to get on the bus at half 8. I didn’t know that so I was late. When we got there I was pretty excited. It was very big.

On Friday we went to a lace called new Lanark. New Lanark is a Victorian time weaving village and even in the 1810s did not have any physical punishment.

We went there for the whole day and started the bus journey at around 1/4 to 9. It was a little bit delayed because me and my little sister rhona were late.

When we got there it was bigger than I expected and we got to see what life as a school child there was like by going to a huge Victorian time classroom and take a lesson from a guy pretending to be a Victorian teacher, he was so convincing that I actually believed he had traveled forward in time. We got to have lunch at a huge park we played about at the park and played manhunt for a bit before getting some stuff from the giftshop.

Last week the hole school went to new Lanark  last week we were split up to groups were p1-3 and p4-7  to-do p4-7 had a teacher what was strict.

Hello everybody its Cleo. I’m going to be telling you all about when we went to New Lanark on Friday. It was an awesome place! New Lanark is were children went  to school in Victorian times and also were they lived. It was about a 1 hour drive. When we got there we went down to were the school was and we all heard a bell go. we went up stairs and there was a man pretending to be a teacher from back then. He was very stricked and the boys and girls were separated. We had black boards instead of paper. I was a little bit scared of him but I got used to it. After we went to this place were there was a ride! It was were this voice from this little girl would tell you about what they done in the Victorian times. Apparently there was ghosts and spirits in that room and I’m a big fan of ghosts and spirits. Then we went for some lunch and played in the park! When everybody finished there lunch we went in the houses to see what they were like and we went to the shop to buy some things and then we went back to school. By Cleo!

On Friday our whole school went to a Victorian village called new Lanark it took over an hour to get there. When we got there we had our snack then split into p1-3  and  p4-7 firstly i went to Robert Owens school for children we had to write the Victorian alphabet. It was very much like ours just a bit different secondly we done a history lesson about a crocodile it wasn’t real though then we did some dancing said our goodbyes and was off to the Annie McLeod experience it was very good .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

 

 

Last weak on the 20th of September the whole school went to new Lanark, We got divided in to groups of 2 the first group had p1-3 and the second group was p4-7.

The first task we done was ( Go to the old school )…

At the school there was a ringing a bell, so we followed the bell sounds at the top of the stares there was a man with a bell ringing he shouted ” SILENCE “. After he introduced himself we all went to the classroom… everything was wooden. the teacher told us to go in 2 rows of girls and boys separate when we done that he started telling us that we had to do a warm up the warm up was marching on the spot.Once we done that we went and sat on chairs for the start of the lesson the teacher was very strict about girls and boys because we had to sit at separate sides of the room of them. The first thing he said to us was that we are VERY late… We had to have our feet straight on the ground and arms crossed? There was a slate and chalk for the writing. The teacher told us that we have to copy a cursive hand writing alphabet once we all done that we went ahead and done some normal math.

When the lesson was done we done a timed dance with the person standing in front of us.
