Last week on Friday we went to the park with project 31 and learned about the 3 quarry’s at cambuslang park and about the girl who fell into a well and the 3rd quarry the witches cave they say that just to keep children away. we also found a band stand witch was a field for playing a sport but before all that it was also a quarry. they didn’t tell us much about the 2nd one but I went back on sunday and I think I found part of it. in the park there is a world war 1 memorial 2 of the people on it were from  hallside..  there are four different ways to get in one is to the modern parky area and the other three is to the quarries.  at first  they didn’t have a a lot of money so they could not afford a park but then someone from hamlton gave them money to make a park:). 

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.

at cambusland  park  there are three Qurries and a little girl fell in to a river next to a Qurry  there are three storys a bout it 

On Friday we went to Cambuslang with project 31. We were learning about quarries. I learned that working in quarries was very dangerous and Cambuslang park has changed over the years. I really enjoyed it.

At cambuslang park I learned that a girl fell in  a river there is lots  of different stories of it.

on Friday we went to the park it was fun. and in the park there is a big rock and all of the people that were in the war there names are on the rocks. so I learned that people that die in the war get there name on a rock.

Today we visited Cambuslang Public Park.  We learned that Cambuslang Park dates back to 1913 and in 2013 celebrated its 100th year birthday! There was previously a glass house in the park but in the1970s, it, along with other things in the park, fell into disrepair.  We also learned that there used to be a quarry in which stone known as Cambuslang marble was mined.  Here are some pictures of us on our guided tour by Project 31!

If you can think of any other facts we learned today or would like to comment on your visit then please reply to this post.
