P6/7 had the delight of experiencing a ‘normal’ school day with a twist. We were invited along to go cruising on The Wooden Spoon canal boat to extend our learning in our Scottish Canals topic. Our skipper, Ronnie (Archie’s grandad), not only told us all about the history of the canal but he allowed us to have a shot at steering the boat and using the locks. On board, we followed our usual class time-table and completed writing, problem solving and art challenges.
