What a busy week we have had!
Our trip to New Lanark yesterday was fantastic! The weather was on our side and we learnt so much about Robert Owen, life in the mill and the Industrial Revolution. If you have never been, it is definitely worth a visit!
The ‘Annie McLeod Experience’ was an eye opener and a true insight into the life of a child living in New Lanark. The rooftop garden was beautifully landscaped with fantastic views of the mills and the river. We were able to compare the homes of Robert Owen with his worker as well as experience being a pupil in a classroom from that time.
Look out for all our photos outside P6 during parent evenings to see all the fun learning we experienced!
Next Wednesday is our Cross Country event! Can the children come to school wearing their PE kit? Bear in mind it is outside so perhaps children wear shorts with trackies over them to walk to school etc and trainers are an absolute must. Can they have in their bags their uniform to change into after with a spare pair of socks and underwear in case they get absolutely soaked? They also need to have a substantial snack with them as lunch will not be till after the event.
We have been listening to some fantastic inventor ideas today! If at any point your child gets stuck for an idea or the designing of it let us know as we can perhaps advise or steer them in the right direction. Remind them it can be anything and, more importantly, enjoy the experience of it all!
Have a lovely weekend!
