The Weapons Pod in Glasgow!

On the 17th of March the pupils of Kilmodan traveled to the Glasgow Museum Resource Centre. On arrival we were indroduced to a man named Brian who was to guide us round the resouce centre. After walking for a long time we arrived at the weapon pod. Inside Brian showed us a stone axehead, a bronze axehead [green with age], a arrow head and a strange object which no one new what it was. To me it looked like a fossolised armadillo with back problems! We also saw a ginormous cross which must have been about ten metres long. Brian also showed us a really cool bow. The time flew by so it was soon time to leave so we got on the bus to go home.

The First Sunny Forest School Of The Year

The school went to forest school today and to our amazement it was sunny! Yippee!

When we arrived we started to make the fire so we could make pancakes Yum!

Mrs Finnie started to get out the eggs and water for the pancake mix, she called us up in pairs to make our pancakes . One of the pupils said the pancakes were too sloppy but most of the pupils loved it.

Meanwhile some other pupils were making mobiles one pupil said that her mobile kept on breaking but most of the mobiles look really good!

At the other end of the forest two pupils were making a mud slide and by the end of the morning their waterproofs were as wet and muddy as anything – and that was our morning in forest school.
