S4 English pupils recently enjoyed a trip to the Riverside Museum in Glasgow where they participated in an interactive guided tour of the museum to improve their understanding of the Scottish play ‘Sailmaker’, by Alan Spence, which they are studying as part of their National 5 English course. During the tour, pupils discovered information about the rise and fall of Glasgow’s shipbuilding, and the different jobs involved in the industry. The museum’s location, facing the site of Govan’s shipyards, helped to further set the scene. The visit served to enrich their knowledge of the play and support them in the run up to their SQA exams.
