Primary 5c headed to Cathedral’s forest area, just outside the school grounds, on Thursday 15th May for some outdoor learning linked to their current topic, The Scottish Wars of Independence. After learning how to build a campfire, the children discussed the sights, smells and sounds that soldiers would have experienced when camping out before battle and created a bank of rich vocabulary which they’ll use to write a diary entry of a soldier. During their time together, our young learners enjoyed some traditional Scottish food, including oatcakes, but also couldn’t resist toasting marshmallows over the fire as a special treat!
