The pupils thoroughly enjoyed their trip to New Lanark.

The following points have been shared by pupils:

  • We all enjoyed the Annie McCleod ride because we got to learn about her life at New Lanark.
  • The children got a choice to work or go to school at the age of 11.
  • They had to address the female teachers as ‘Mam.’
  • Kids used to get made to work and were hit by the cane/ ruler.
  • There were ten people inside a bedroom sized house with one window and one room.
  • Toys were usually made by them, like toys or trains.
