Primary 5 Trip to the National Museum

rmpstaff

On the 11th of October we went to the National Museum of Scotland as part of our classification and food webs work in our Topic. These are some of the exhibits that we saw as we explored.

We also got to play with the interactive exhibits and we had time in the interactive area on the top floor of the Natural World section. Everyone had a great time and we wished we could have stayed longer!
