Today Primary 1/2 went on a class trip to The Kelpies in Falkirk. We were all very excited when we saw them from the bus!!
First of all we went we inside the brand new visitor centre! We met our tour guide and were able to share lots of our learning and found out some new parts of the Kelpie story. We had to work in groups to design our own shape shifting Kelpies.
Then we went for a walk up to the Kelpies. We were very lucky and got to look inside. The Kelpies were made by a man called Andy Scott and the Kelpies are called Duke and Barren. We were inside Duke. They are 30 metres high and weigh the same as 100 elephants! We learned they are made of metal so they won’t rust even after 100 years!!! When the real Duke and Barren came to visit they left a horse shoe. The horses feet are so big that we can fit both our feet inside!
We got to eat our lunch in the visitor center which was lovely and warm and then we got to go to the AMAZING Swing Park!
We had a fantastic day at the Kelpies and learned lots of new facts for our topic. We want to say a big thank you to Mrs Troup and Mrs Hadden for helping us have so much fun!
Love P1/2
This looks like great fun P1/2. I have never been inside a Kelpie! It looks amazing.
Ethan really enjoyed the trip and has been sharing all the facts about them with his family
I loved learning all about the Kelpies. It was fun to go inside Duke, and to look up inside his head! Lily x
