We went on a trip to the museum to learn about Lerwick in the past compared to Lerwick today.
This trip helped develop 7 out of the 12 meta-skills, including:
- Sense-making
- Creativity
- Curiosity
- Integrity
- Adapting
- Initiative
- Communicating
The class were absolute superstars and listened so well to Ailish and Donna. They asked and answered lots of questions. They even impressed Donna by knowing that Arthur Anderson was the founder of the Anderson Educational Institute. They recognised the motto Dö weel and persevere!
We learned that we know information about the past from maps, pictures and plans. They enjoyed seeing pictures of the Sands of Sound beach from a long time ago, before the grey house was built. They did not enjoy learning about what happened to waste before there was toilets and a sewer system in place, there was lots of screwed up faces at that part.
Sands of Sound with croft houses instead of the big house.
Most people recognised this building but said it looked a bit weird.
The pupils wondered what the big building was in the car park.
