Yesterday we went on our class trip to New Lanark.
We had to get a bus and the drive felt so long! – Luke
We split up into two groups to do different activites. – Manno
We went to a workshop and were given a detective hat to investigate things from the past. – Eve & Alistair
We went to a house from 200 years ago. – Arjun
We learnt that they often only had one room and that lots of people from the same family would live there. – Saransh
We got to dress up one person from our little group as a Mill Worker. We had to select the correct clothes that we thought they would wear. -Peggy
We looked at items and had to pick out the ones that we thought wouldn’t belong in the past. As they didn’t have electricty they would use a gas lamp for lights.- Harry M
We learnt that poeple would go to the toilet in a ‘chanty’ and they would then throw it out of the window. We all thought that sounded disgusting. -Hamish
We went on a ride called the ‘Annie McLeod’ experience where we learnt lots of interesting facts about the past. – Ryley
We got to see what the inside of a real life Cotton Mill would look like. – Emily
We enjoyed going down the slide and playing hopscotch. – Ami
There was also a lovely park that we were allowed to play in. There was a big climbing frame, a throne for a King or Queen, and a little house. It was very fun. – Harry C, Maya, Blain, Ryley, Afie
Lastly we went into a threate to watch a short movie. It was about a time traveller who discussed life in the futrure and in the past. – Elise, Grace
I really enjoyed our trip and I loved all the fun things we got to do. – Isla
Thank you so much to our wonderful parent helpers for coming with us! 🙂
