Lockerbie Manor – Day 1

23 Comments

We arrived safely here at Lockerbie Manor at 1:30 after a quick stop at Abington. The pupils and staff were given a quick tour of the amazing house and grounds before starting our first activities at half 3. We have been climbing, abseiling, rifle shooting and completing a blind trail! Lots more to come with a full day of 4 activities tomorrow. The children are off to bed and settled now, ready for rise and shine at 7:30 and a Scottish breakfast. We’ve just managed to get the Wi-Fi up and running so have a look at some action shots from today. Hope you’ve all had a nice Monday back in Torphichen!

P3/4 – People who take care of us

1 Comment

Over the past couple of weeks, P3/4 have had another two professionals into class to talk to them about their jobs and what they do to take care of us! Firstly we were joined by Mrs. Wood (Kirsty’s mum) who is a doctor. She brought in lots her medical instruments for us to look at and told us how they work. The pupils particularly enjoyed Mrs. Wood testing my reflexes and doing some other tests! Today we were visited by Mr. Murray (Kyle’s dad) who an Assistant Chief Fire Officer. He dressed Mackenzie up in a firefighter’s uniform which gave us all a laugh. We then discovered that there is a lot more to being a firefighter than just fighting fires; road accidents, CBRN (chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear) and water rescue were just some of the examples Mr. Murray shared with us. If we need our homes fire safety checked, Scotland Fire and Rescue can do this free of charge! A big thank you to both of our visitors!
