Kilmodan primary school’s trip to Hampden

073On the 17/03/14 we went on a trip to Hampden. After a little wait we got a man called Bruce who was our tour guide. First we went to the underground tunnel where the team buses park on matchday. After that we went to see the home and away changing rooms. There were 16 showers and 6 baths and 1 of the baths had jacuzzi jets. So luxurious compared to Colglen shinty teams changing room.

Next we went to the indoor astro-turf training room where there was a  speed shot machine called Hotshot and we all got to have a shot at goal. After that Bruce showed us the tunnel where the players ran out but we couldn’t go out on [to the pitch] because the ground was wet. After that we went up stairs to go and see the Sky Sports studio and we saw the whole stadium from up high. Next we looked around the museum and then we had lunch.

At the end we had a picture with the commonwealth games mascot – Clyde.

Workshop: Red River Re-cap!

Date: Thursday 18th of April 2013

Location: Kilmodan Primary School, Glendaruel

Workshop: Red River Re-cap!

Walking Youth Theatre Team: Sadie Dixon-Spain and Alana Mathers

Today’s short workshop was very high-energy, and lots of fun! The pupils were all very enthusiastic about engaging with the Glen of the Red River project following the break.

To refresh the memories of the pupils, we played a number of ‘Timeline’ games, to encourage the pupils to think about the history of the Glen, and the time periods they have already studied. It was great to see how much information the pupils had remembered, and to hear the questions they were asking on life in the Glen throughout the ages.

The pupils also highlighted the particular historical periods they were most interested in learning about, and identified ones the curriculum had already touched on.

This afternoons activities allowed us to gather facts the pupils were already well versed in regarding particular historical time periods, particularly the Vikings.
