Article 28

We have a right to an in-depth education

Primary 6 took a step back in time when they visited New Lanark to learn all about life back in the Victorian era. Led by a costumed teacher, learners experienced school days in Robert Owen’s time. Lessons included drill, hand-writing, arithmetic and dancing. As you can see, everyone had to dress up, write on slates and act and answer appropriately. We also got to explore textile machinery in a mill and find out about home life and shopping 200 years ago!
