Sorry picture is a bit blurry. This series starts on Wed. night at 8.00pm on BBC Scotland channel.

Some Scottish pupils are let loose in the museum in Edinburgh overnight – looks like fun.

Group 6 – you might spot a dinosaur!

Groups 4 and 5 – they might find some Roman artifacts.

Please find below a list of interactive educational websites which most of the secondary pupils have used at some time during their Social Studies lessons:

(Should a website not load on your computer, it might be best to access it using the older search engine –   Internet Explorer.)

• “Sheppard Software” – then choose sheppardsoftware.co.uk to access hundreds of educational games, matching activities, quizzes and articles related to school topics.
• “Topmarks” – then choose Topmarks.co.uk to access a huge variety of education resources online. Remember to scroll down the page.
• “Roman mosaic online” – then choose demon.co.uk to access an interactive Mosaic design program, which some of our pupils have recently been using in school. Choose the “simple” menu heading for an easier grid to work on.
• “3d geography” – then choose 3dgeography.co.uk to access fun ideas to help with learning about Geography.
• “Crickweb” – then choose crickweb.co.uk to access a variety of subject related interactive educational activities.
