Primary 2 pupils learn how to mangle clothes!

Pupils in Primary 2 visited the Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life in Coatbridge as part of their 'When Gran was a Girl' project.

P2 SummerleeThey took part in a workshop during which they played with games from when Gran was a girl, used a mangle to dry clothes and dressed up and danced to music from the 60s. They visited miners' houses that reflected life in the 1940s, 50s and 60s and even went down a mine, donning hard hats to see the horrible conditions miners worked in. Summerlee is set in 22 acres based around the site of the 19th-century Summerlee Ironworks.
