Famous Victorians

On Friday, we all did our Victorian research presentations. Some people did it on Alexandra Graham Bell, Florence Nightingale and I did it on Jumbo, the famous Victorian  elephant. After we all did our talks we played Top Trumps and we  found out the names of a lot of famous Victorians that we didn’t know existed.    – Ruby

Poppy Scotland Representative Presentation

Stephen Shires, a representative from Poppy Scotland, visited our school to talk to us about the impact that our money would have on the lives of ex-servicemen and women.

He revised the history of Poppy Scotland as a charity and told us some very interesting facts about the poppy!

Stephen was very knowledgeable and was keen to answer all of our questions.
