As part of their learning and teaching on the topic of transport, P5-7 paid a visit to the Stena Line port at Cairnryan.\u00a0 This was arranged with the assistance of Mrs Mc Intyre, a parent who works there.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

By all accounts it was a fantastic visit\u00a0. The staff at Stena\u00a0couldn’t have been nicer. The children got to be in the control room in the terminal and behind the customer services desk (much to the surprise\/ amusement of a Japanese tour guide!) They then watched the boat docking and unloading before going on board. Norris McLean gave them a full tour of the vessal, including the bridge. There were lots of great questions all round from the boys and girls. They finished off their trip\u00a0by getting juice and crisps at the terminal courtesy of Stena.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“On the 1st of June p5-7 went on a trip to Stena to learn about the ship because\u00a0we are learning about transport. We got a tour of the boat and\u00a0 got to see all the places\u00a0were the staff are allowed and where\u00a0the lorry drivers go. We got to ask questions all about the boat. On the\u00a0ferry they can fit 1200 people. We also saw where they answer the phones when you are booking to go on the\u00a0boat.\u00a0It was one of the best trips we have ever been on. Thanks to\u00a0the people at Stena for letting us come.”\u00a0(\u00a0Arden Mcintyre, p5)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
