This morning P1-3 ventured into Stranraer with their Kirkcolm buddies to visit the town’s very own Castle of St John! The started off in the museum where they were set a scavenger hunt – a super way to explore the castle and see lots of real life artefacts. \ud83d\udc51Afterwards, they ventured up the (VERY!) windey staircase to a very royal room with lots of costumes and real life bits and bobs. The pupils spent some time dressing up and having fun re-enacting some castle battles.\ud83e\udec5\ud83e\uddce\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/span><\/div>\n

hey learned that the Castle once belonged to the Adair family from Ireland and later it turned into a prison! They were led further up the windey staircase to the roof, where they learned that the top of the castle was used for prisoners to exercise!\ud83d\udc82\ud83e\udec5<\/span><\/div>\n

A super fun trip with lots of local learning! Well done Team P1-3!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
