Our class had fun exploring the human body with the visitors from The Glasgow Science Centre today.  In the morning we were given the chance to play with different interactive exhibits relating to different parts of the body.

Later on we took part in a Disgusting Digestion interactive show.

It was great fun and we learned about the journey of food throughout our bodies.

Somehow, we also managed to squeeze in a session with a local musician today!  We were treated to some dialect singing and fiddle playing by Claire White.  She planned a busy session looking at some interesting local stories and how she managed to turn these into songs for people to remember.

Then we split into groups to write our own stories and eventually turn these into songs.  Some groups chose their own local stories to develop.  These included the St Ninian’s Isle treasure, The Queen opening our school in 1969 and the Braer Disaster.  It was a lot to do in the short space of time, so we didn’t quite manage to finish this today.   Next term we are looking at local history, so we will save what we have achieved for now and build on these again at a later date.   I look forward to seeing what we can produce!

Well done Draatsis!
