Police Scotland Visit

Police Scotland came to deliver a talk related to discrimination and hate crimes in the Eco garden.  Johnny explained how serious these crimes were and the ways in which Police Scotland dealt with them. He very kindly answered all our questions about being a police officer too. 

Vikingar!

4.14 had a brilliant day out at Vikingar in Largs. We experienced life as a Viking – spending time in a longhouse learning about daily life & comparing it to our own. We were surprised they ate and drank some of the same things we do, but instead of a cup used a ram’s horn for drinking, loudly shouting “Skol!” We tried on helmets & clothes of a typical villager from the farmer & craftsman to the wealthy trader. We learnt about the history of battle of Largs which took place right across the road on the beach! It really brought the topic to life & the class would highly recommend 😍
