Room 24 – St Mungo Museum Trip

March 13, 2026 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

On Thursday this week we went to St Mungo Museum for our class trip. We started the day off with a scavenger hunt around the museum where we had to find statues and objects from small picture clues we were given. After that, we went to see inside Glasgow Cathedral and search for the stained glass windows that had animals on them. We got to go down into the crypt and see where St Mungo is buried too!

In the afternoon, we took part in a WW2 workshop back at St Mungo’s museum. We learned about real Jewish people who either lived or died in concentration camps. It was inspiring to learn about these people, some of which moved to Scotland once they were freed or the war was over. Across 4 interactive stations, we were able to create banners displaying values that were important to us, we had Jewish objects that we could draw, we created a paper chain of kindness by writing things that make us feel happy, and we created a sun-charm by drawing things that inspire us. Overall it was a very immersive experience that we all enjoyed.

As well as the enlightening school trip, the bus rides were very musical and had everyone singing along!

It was a very fun day, and we would all love to have the adventure again.

Easter Code

On Tuesday last week, the chaplaincy team came in for us to take part in the Easter Code workshop, alongside Room 23. We found out about some of the traditions that Christians take part in and also what Jewish people celebrate at this time of year.  Some of the traditions might be that when you go to someone’s house they may greet you with washing your feet or they might serve you traditional food and drinks. It was a fun morning!

World Book Day

For World Book Day, we could come in wearing comfy clothes, pyjamas or we could dress up as our favourite book characters. We started the day off with a live ‘Footy and Booky Quiz’ where the questions were read out by authors and some famous footballers! We got to do some social DEAR time with our friends and Miss Napier brought in some biscuits for us to munch!

WW2

On Friday last week, we learned about the people who cracked Germany’s secret codes and messages during WW2 using a machine called Enigma. Winston Churchill wanted the cleverest people on the team trying to crack the code, but it wasn’t just people who were mathematicians and engineers. It was people who were good at solving puzzles like crosswords. For maths, we tried to solve Sudoku puzzles. They’re number puzzles linked to problem solving, so we’d be thinking like the code crackers! We started with a 6×6 puzzle and then tried a 9×9 puzzle if we managed it.

It’s the anniversary of the Clydebank Blitz today (13th March). We’ve learned a bit about the different Blitz locations this week and why they were targeted. We also started some artwork that we’ll finish next week.

British Science Week

We had Poppy from our class, and some other STEM leaders, do a lesson for us on Monday. We did balloon rockets and talked about actions, reactions and forces.
