S1 Trip To Riverside Museum

Chaidh na sgoilearan air AS1 air turas gu Taigh Tasgaidh Riverside air an Abhainn Chluaidh. Fhuair iad bùth-obrach agus bha aca ri rannsachadh agus sgrùdadh a dhèanamh am broinn an Taigh Tasgaidh. Fhuair iad cothrom feuchainn rudan orra mar clogaid an tàthadair agus dh'ionnsaich iad facail agus smuaintean ùra ceangailte ris an Abhainn Chluaidh. Chòrd an fhiosrachadh ri na sgoilearan agus tha barrachd eòlas ionadail aca de Ghlaschu a-nis.

Social Subjects (History Department) S1 went on a trip to the Riverside Museum on the River Clyde on Thursday 13th of December. They were given a workshop where they had to investigate and research the information in the Museum. This of course included trying out items such as the welder's mask and learning new words and ideas connected to the Clyde. The pupils enjoyed their experience of Glasgow and have a lot more knowledge of the school locality now.
