Some children from P4, P4/5 and P5 visited a museum in Govan to learn about the famous shipbuilding industry from Glasgow’s past.

We learned about the importance of the industry in Glasgow and how the technology evolved over the years.

We learned about all the equipment and tools that were used and how those improved over many years.

We heard a lot of new words that we didn’t know before like “welding” and “riveting“. We saw how the ships were designed and constructed. At the beginning whole ships were built there and in later years parts of ships were built there and stuck together somewhere else.

We took the subway and walked the rest of the journey. We had our lunch in the park before coming home – we were all very tired!
