P 3/2 and P2 – Trip to Dynamic Earth

Both classes have just returned from an exciting adventure to Dynamic Earth.  The children enjoyed a tour round the galleries which included looking at time travelling, the big bang, volcanic eruptions, the ice age and the rainforest. They took part in the Dinosaur Detective and Dinosaur Adventure workshops looking at dinosaur fossils.  Thank you Dynamic Earth for a thoroughly enjoyable day.

The P3’s were able to enjoy a short walk to look at the Scottish Parliament building, Holyrood Palace and Arthurs’s Seat as well.

Primary 5 had a fantastic day out at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.  They took part in interesting workshops where they learned all about the history of Scottish politics.  After that primary 5 were taken on a tour around the Parliament building and given special access into the debating chamber.  Finally we were given  an audience with two local MSP’s – Fiona Hyslop and Neil Findlay.  Primary 5 asked super questions!

They had a brilliant day and learned a lot.
