Primary 6

Primary 6 have had a busy first term with our class trip to the Water of Leith Visitor Centre as well as visits from the West Lothian Drugs and Alcohol Service and Mrs. Brown, a Respiratory Nurse. Exploring new places and having visitors has helped us make links between what we have learnt in class and the wider world.

On our class trip we learnt about what life was like for Jacobites in Edinburgh in the 1700s. We put ourselves into the shoes of Jacobite soldiers by building shelters in the Colinton Dell and recreating the Battle of Culloden.

Take a look at our Jacobite shelters and let us know what you think!

This group used their coats to add warmth to their shelter the same way the Jacobites may have done with their plaids.
