Mining Museum Report

On Wednesday the 20th of January 2016,classes P5 and P6 from Roslin Primary School went on a trip to the Scottish Mining Museum. One of the activities was bridge building. The idea was for the children to get a grasp on civil engineering. Everybody was interacting in this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Another activity was getting a tour around the Museum itself. It was a very educational tour and the pupils all seemed to enjoy it very much. Here are some quotes from the children about the trip.

By Alasdair Brown P5/6 & Sarah McEwan P5/6

Ross P6- “I enjoyed getting to build the bridge the most because everybody was helping each other.”                     Blair P6- “It was exciting because we went down to the coal face.”                                                                         Lucy P6- “I enjoyed seeing all the machines work”.            Charlie P5- “I learnt a lot of things because it showed how everything worked”.                                                    Alasdair P5- “We learnt all the dangers of the Mine and to be safe around the Mine.”                                                  Everybody really enjoyed their trip and learnt lots of new things.
