We started in the Scottish Football Museum where we were excitied to see the real Scottish Cup . We then visited all the stops on the Striking Herstories Trail, exploring and learning all about the history of Women in Scottish Football. We enjoyed looking at lots of the interesting artefacts and interactive activities.
Stadium Tour
Next we took a tour of the stadium and visited the underground roadway where the team buses arrrive. We went to the home and away changing rooms (we all changed our shoes in here so that we could say “we got changed in the Scotland Football Team changing room”). We loved entering the stadium to the “Hampden Roar” and then being presented with the Scottish Cup! Thanks to Jim and Andy for telling us so many amazing facts and Megan for making sure our day was captured on film!
AR26 / Brain Health STARS Training Session
Ronan from AR26 came to take a FIFA training session. We learned different strategies to use rather than heading the ball. We really liked spelling out the word BRAIN in teams, passing the ball to the correct letter. Euan, Mrs Ross’s son,was also there to help with this session as a football player and coach.
Sophie from Brain Health Scotland came to talk to us all about our Intergenerational Topic and she was super impressed with our brain knowledge and how to prevent brain disease and take care of our brains using the STARS approach.
