P6 Trip to Summerlee!

Primary 6 had a fantastic trip to Summerlee last week. We really enjoyed the workshop where we got to dress up in Victorian school uniform and follow the strict Victorian school rules! We also got to go down a mine to experience what it would’ve been like to have worked in these conditions. We all agreed that it must have been very difficult especially with it being so dark and cramped. It was also really interesting getting to look inside different cottages to see how the living conditions and decor have changed over time. The outside loo in the 1800’s and the TV in the 1980’s cottage were big talking points!

P6B at Summerlee

Primary 6 had a wonderful day out at Summerlee museum learning about life in the Victorian era and about the job of a miner from the 1840s onwards. They took a trip down a mine to see how dark, damp and cramped working conditions would be for miners and enjoyed looking around the miner’s cottages to learn about life in a variety of eras. They then took part in a fabulous workshop where they dressed up as Victorian school children, looked at some artefacts and practised copperplate writing.

Primary 6 rugby festival

Over the past term, Primary 6 have been learning to play touch rugby. They celebrated their learning with a whole stage rugby festival. We were so impressed by the skills the children displayed during their games and the sportsmanship shown to their peers.

Primary 6’s Victorian village

Primary 6 have enjoyed working collaboratively to create a Victorian village display in their classroom. They used their knowledge of Victorian life to create a character for the village and then designed house, shops, factories and schools.
