Primary 6 children had a great day out at People’s Palace.

We got the bus into Glasgow and walked down to Glasgow Green. We were lucky that the sun was shining so got a play in the park before we went round the museum. After that we had lunch before our workshop on The Slave Trade where we learned a lot of new facts and got to see some of the equipment that was used on the slaves.
