P7/6 enjoyed a fantastic trip to the museum of flight as part of their World War II topic.
We enjoyed a super workshop with National Museum guide Eva where we got to see artefacts from WWII including uniforms, silk maps and compasses which were hidden in buttons to avoid detection. We also got to try out code breaking and try on some uniforms of the era.

Next we enjoyed a guided tour around the airfield with David and Ken. We visited the air raid and blast shelters, museum – Fortunes of War – and hangars which contained lots of interesting planes including the WWII fighter planes Spitfire and Messerschmitt and the ultimate luxury passenger airplane – Concorde.
We enjoyed boarding Concorde and learning about luxury,  super sonic flight. We got to look in the cockpit and discovered at top speed it could travel at Mach 2 – over 1300mph!

We also got to see a WWII unexploded bomb that landed in Edinburgh!

After lunch we tackled the assault course and enjoyed some spectacular weather! The airfield last saw an aircraft land in the 1980s when the Vulcan arrived from the Falklands War. Even though it is now mainly grassed over, it is still easy to see the former runways, when it was in daily use in both WWI and WWII!

Many thanks to National Museums and the brilliant staff at East Fortune for such a memorable day!

First up on this Tuesday morning – we started at The Smoothie Bike. We had the opportunity to make a fruit kebab or a smoothie. We used our collaboration skills to choose fruit, safely prepare it for the blender and make our morning smoothie. 🍑🍌🍊🍓🍎

Next up we had our Circus School Class – we played games, learned new tricks and had fun 🤩 🤡🎪

After a quick snack break we headed outside to the Trim Trail for smores, after a quick safety brief we toasted our marshmallows around the fire. 🔥

In the afternoon we took part in a Strongman/woman led by Mrs. Mains

Let’s see what tomorrow brings!! 🔥

Yesterday, P3 had an exciting school trip to Deep Sea World. We had a fantastic day exploring the aquarium and learning all about sea creatures and their habitats.

P3 enjoyed seeing a wide variety of marine animals, including sharks, rays, seahorses and colourful tropical fish. One of the highlights of the trip was walking through the underwater tunnel and watching the sharks and fish swim above our heads!🐠🦈

During the visit, we learned lots of interesting facts about ocean life and how important it is to protect our seas and animals. P3 asked excellent questions and showed great enthusiasm throughout the day.

Everyone represented the school wonderfully by showing excellent listening skills and good manners.
