P6/7 and P6 had a very enjoyable and thought provoking trip to Glasgow. The trip was to visit the setting of our book Divided City and examine sectarianism in Glasgow. We attended a workshop run by St Mungo’s Museum- Glasgow A Sectarian City? We visited Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis. There were spectacular views over the city and we identified lots of Glasgow’s famous landmarks.

P6/7 Class Trip
P6/7 enjoyed their trip to Burns Cottage and Robert Burns Birthplace Museum this week. They have been celebrating the Bard of Ayrshire by learning ‘The Selkirk Grace’ and ‘To a Haggis’. A particular favourite was haggis tasting and learning about all the delicilous ingredients.
P3/4 and P4/5 Visit Five Sisters Zoo
Recently, P4/5 and P3/4 got together for a terrific educational excursion to the Five Sisters Zoo. The children were amazed to learn that many of the animals at the zoo have been rescued from performing in circuses.
Have a peek at our gallery to see the children enjoying seeing the animals, learning about minibeast identification, and enjoying a post-lunch play at the swing park!
P7 Inverlochy Scottish Outing
Yesterday, P7 Inverlochy headed out for the day – on an extended school trip! The class have been studying several aspects of modern Scottish life, as well as Scottish history. To celebrate the end of their studies, Miss Duncan organised a day out to visit the National Museum of Scotland, following by an afternoon receiving a guided tour of the Scottish Parliament.
The class split into small groups to explore the museum before enjoying a bite to eat and a tour of the gift shop. The afternoon was spent learning more about how the Scottish Parliament is run, while getting to enjoy some ‘behind the scenes’ access, denied to the general public – including a tour of the debating chamber! Check out the gallery to see how our day went! Museum photographs were taken by our talented children.
It really was an excellent day out, and our children were an absolute credit to our school in terms of their behaviour and the way they impressed their tour guides with their incredible knowledge of the Scottish Parliament!
