We visited Summerlee in Coatbridge as part of our olden days topic. We saw what children used in school and how they werw punished. We got dressed up and did some dancing. We were taught the twist and hand jiving. We got to play with old toys like whip and peerie. We pretended to wash clothes and put them through a mangle. In the afternoon we took the tram to the old cottages and saw how people lived a long time ago. We also went down the mine to see how the miners dug for coal. It was very dark in the mine. It was a lovely day and we all had a great time.
