The last week before our Easter holidays has been a very busy one. On Tuesday this week our class, P3/4 and P3 went to the Chambers Street museum in Edinburgh. As you will know we have been learning about the Egyptians and they have a great exhibition on just now. We visited different areas and found lots of interesting things to look at, smell and feel. Pupils enjoyed weighing themselves as a group to see which animal they compared to. One of our groups managed to reach the weight of a polar bear!
Some people were fascinated by the quartz and mineral displays, especially the diamond. The dinosaur and sperm whale bones were huge and really helped everyone to imagine their size. It was a great day out and thank you to those who were able to come along as helpers on the day, it was very much appreciated. I would imagine everyone slept well that night as there was also a lot of stairs to go up and down! Pupils tell me they are keen to go back and see the parts we didn’t have time to visit, especially the interactive areas. So if you are at a loose end during the holidays that would be a good day out. We hope you all have great holiday.
