Primary 5 have just returned from a fantastic day at Stirling Castle.

After arriving we explored in our small groups – thanks MIss Bell and to all our parent helpers!  A few of us were taken to look out over the site of the Battle of Stirling Bridge and the Wallace Monument.  It was fascinating to look out and visualise the battles that would have taken place on the fields below!

After lunch we met with ‘Sir Philip Mowbry’.  He took us on a fascinating journey through the castle walls, igniting our imaginations with gruesome tales of defence, battle and attack!

We gathered in the education room to find out about the armoury and weapons used during the battles in the 13th and 14th century.  A few of us even got to dress up as the King, Princess, servant and Jester!

It was an excellent day full of adventure and learning!  Well done to all in P5 for taking part enthusiastically and asking so many interesting questions!

Have a great long weekend!
