Primary 5 were very lucky to receive a visit from Mr David Smith from the Smith Museum this afternoon.

He taught us lots of interesting facts about Wallace and Bruce and also the Smith Museum.  Did you know that the worlds oldest football is kept in the Smith Museum and is said to be worth between £5,000,000 – £10,000,000!

We learned so much about these historical figures and can’t wait to find out more through our learning context over the next few weeks.  We were most excited when David brought out a real sword from 300 years ago (ones from Wallace and Bruce era are too old and because they were made of steel most of them snapped) as well as some leg cuffs which were once used to hold prisoners!

Thank you Mr Smith!
