We went to Kirkwall on Monday 15th May. First we walked through Kirkwall where Miss Angier talked to everyone about different rocks (the older class have been learning about them in Science).

Then we went into the Orkney museum for a quick visit (we would very much recommend it!)

       

       

We had a lovely picnic lunch in Tankerness Gardens.

Then we went to the library to meet Joseph Coelho, the children’s laureate. We had a great time hearing about his writing, and we even wrote a poem together with him. We will be using what we learned to write our own poetry in class.
