Primary 6 welcomed Mrs Flora Burns, a trustee from Moat Brae Trust, to talk about J.M. Barrie. The class learned about his early life, why he came to live in Dumfries and how his time in Dumfries influenced his writing of Peter Pan. We all learned something new about J.M. Barrie and heard about how the people of Dumfries made his time here enjoyable and informative. The class were also keen to hear about the plans for Moat Brae house when it opens in 2018. The children asked lots of interesting questions and took the opportunity to take notes to use in their Big Writing later in the week.
