We had such a fun and busy week of learning last week. On Wednesday we had our class trip to New Lanark and we had a fantastic time. We got to ride on the Annie McLeod experience where we learned about the lives of the cotton mill workers. We also got to see where they lived and bought food, and we got to see Robert Owen’s house. We also got to spend time in the Victorian school. It was great fun and we learned so much.

For literacy we were focusing on World Book Day, when we wrote about our favourite books and worked in groups to complete a quiz. We also wrote diary entries all about our trip to New Lanark. We also really enjoyed our Victorian Inventions presentations – it was so nice to see how much effort everyone had put into their presentations at home to make them interesting and engaging.
