Trip – P4

P4s school trip by Abby and Hannah P

We went to Huntington tower and Elcho castle on our school trip. The first castle we got to pretend that we were all servants in the castle! We also had to remember a tricky song that we kept adding to. It was great getting a job to play, and we got to sit around the great hall table. We also got to see the Lords privy which was a toilet, but the lord had secret meetings there so no one could hear him! Privy means private!We all enjoyed it. We all had partners and Miss McNeills’ mum came with us. We had to go up stairs that went round and round. It was a bit scary going down the big round stairs on the last floor, we went up to the roof were they would look for enemies. It was so much fun. We all loved going on top of the castle it was so high. We all loved the view. Please look at our great photos!

Morgan: It was so much fun looking round the castles.

Violet: I liked going up to the top of the castle and looking at the view.

Gregor: the long bus trip was well worth it.

Hannah M: I liked going round the castle with my partner

Calum H: I liked going inside the castle with my partner.

18 of our P4 girls took part in the North Lanarkshire Active Schools Girls Festival 2015. The girls had the the opportunity to try a number of different sports and activities that are also available in the community.
