Yesterday Primary 3/4/5 went on a school trip into Ednburgh to learn more about Burke and Hare, our topic in class. We arrived at the Surgeon’s Hall Museum and were met by Thomas who kindly spoke to us about Burke and Hare. The children were able to demonstrate exactly how much we had learnt, answering questions and discussing the gruesome twosome! Before leaving we guessed what some mystery objects were and explored Surgeon’s Hall ourselves, looking more closely at all those body parts in jars. Before lunch we were met by our three tour guides who took us all on a walk around Edinburgh’s Old Town. We went up the closes and down the stairs, finding out lots of interesting facts about Burke and Hare along the way. We even managed to visit Greyfriar’s Kirkyard and the statue of Greyfriar’s Bobby to tie in with our class novel. Have a look at some of our photographs from the day!
