Braco Mystery Tour

The children were learning to follow directions walking around the village, in particular left and right.

We used our hands and thinking how we write, in order to turn  left and right correctly.

Walking around the village, we saw where some of us lived and learned about some of the houses and roads in Braco. We will learn more about these in the future.

 

Transport Museum Visit

P1/2 are just back from their fabulous time at the Transport Museum in Glasgow.

We started off with a tour with the Tram Man who guided us around the different trams showing us how they worked and how people had to board them and sit on them too. He also showed us their safety features with the help of Rhys who ended up being below one of them!

We then had a walk around the many exhibits before lunch.

After lunch we continued our tour, which included going on board the steam locomotives, in and out of the old style shops and aboard the Glen lee ship, where some of  the children were put to work scrubbing the decks!

After our visit to the shop we had to go back home. A big thank you to Hazel and Mr Davidson who were our parent/grandparent helpers!

Stirling Castle

We had a glorious day with bright sunshine most of the day. We were joined by Rhys’s Gran and Harrison’s Gran too. (Thank you, ladies,!)  We split up into two groups, but met up for a lovely picnic lunch at the cannons.

There were super exhibitions to see and the players in the castle were keen to involve the children. The chambermaid of Mary Queen of Scots told us all about her life and one of the groups was even taught a dance in the Great Hall by a Lady in Waiting.

The children got to see what people ate in Medieval times in the Great Kitchen and how young boys had the job of turning the spits at the fire. They particularly enjoyed trying on clothes, playing the musical instruments of the time and having fun with the jester.

Throughout our walks the children were knowledgeable about parts of the castle and how they could defend the castle.

At the very end it was time for the shop and the most popular things bought were of course….swords and catapults!
