Day: January 21, 2016

This afternoon for our soft finish we thought we would give parents a test to see if they could do our ‘Big Maths’ sheets. They got to listen to the jingles we play then they had to get their heads down to complete the worksheet in the time given!! Well done parents!!

On Tuesday P4 had a very busy day visiting local places of interest and finding out about Robert Burns. We went to visit his house where he lived in Dumfries, this is also the house where he died. We went to the Mausoleum to see where he had been buried, we found out that it was not the place he was buried in the first place, he was moved to the site of the Mausoleum 19 years after he died. We then had to walk over the  Robert Burns Centre, we watched a film about Burns’ life in the cinema then we went upstairs to see some more artefacts and information about his life. There is a model of Dumfries as it would have looked when Robert Burns was living here. It was really interesting. After that we walked up the really steep hill for lunch at the museum and then we had a wander round. Our last activity of the day was a Burns on the Beat workshop with Dr Fred, he told us about Burns songs and we listened to some music that Burns would have listened to when he was growing up.

We had a really good day, even though we had to walk a lot. Well done P4!!
