P5 Trip to Bannockburn

Primary 5 visited  Bannockburn Visitor Centre to learn more about their topic on the Scottish Wars of Independence.  They had a very interactive session to begin with where we headed to the battle room to learn more about the Scottish and English armies: where they camped and where they attacked from.  Our very own Bruce and Edward were cheered on by their armies.  After this we headed into the main battle where we felt like part of the army.   We then headed outside to visit Bruce’s monument and find out more about the schiltron and how the Scottish army used this in battle.

After lunch, we finished with a weapons handling workshop where we also tried on various replicas of the uniform that the soldiers would have worn. We dressed our very own knight, infantry soldier and archer ready for battle.

We had a fantastic day and the curator was really impressed with the learning we shared.

Primary 6 School Trip

Primary 6 visited Dynamic Earth to learn more about their science topic- Space. They had a very informative visit to the planetarium where they journeyed into our solar system and explored the planets further. After this, they had a workshop that involved them making a spacecraft, using LEGO, that could travel to a planet in space and take samples to send back to Earth.

After lunch, we had a tour around the rest of the building where we travelled through time. We explored how the world was created, saw the first dinosaurs and even got to see and touch a real iceberg.

We had all had a fantastic day!
