On Friday we went to Cambuslang park to learn from Project 31. Our topic was the Quarry. I learned what a Quarry is and we learned lots about them. There is a true story that a young girl fell down into a Quarry and died. There is three stories that we learned and are still not sure witch one is true. The stories are… The first one is that the little girl was trying to give her dad her lunch and she fell down and died sadly. The second one is that she was pushing her dolls pram and it tipped over the edge, she tried to catch it and fell in then she sadly passed away. The third and final story is that she began to play tennis with her friends and the ball rolled away so she went to get it and managed to fall in the big deep quarry and died 🙁 The reason why parents of young children tell them this story is so that they are very careful and don’t fall in. There is a big stone quarry wall and behind there used to be big caves (they are now covered). There is a myth that old, scary witches live in the caves and if you go any were near them they will take you away and never let you go. Parents tell their children this so they seriously do not go in these caves because stone may fall on them.
Lyra you could copy all this info. into you e-portfolio as well.
