We enjoyed learning about the careers of different engineers yesterday and getting the chance to ask them questions. We then used our team-working skills to build towers to hold marshmallows. Unfortunately not all of them survived! The tallest successful tower was 25cm!

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 😍
