It is indeed!

…local heritage (communities past, present & future), it was wonderful to see the #Cochno Stone shining through the design everywhere. As always, we especially loved saying hi to the children and staff. It was great to catch up with you all. @urbanprehisto you would love it!

What a great way to end this stay in Scotland - a visit to the new Faifley Campus! Thank you @StJosephsWDC & EdinbarnetPS for the welcome…and the tour. After facilitating 2 joint projects connecting the new campus to… @urbanprehisto

3 days, 2 schools, 1 mission - working together to design and create prototype @Makedo boats worthy of entry into the #Linlithgow Canal annual cardboard boat race! Yes - humans in cardboard boats, racing! 🤣 Success…and P4-7 from @AvonbridgePS @DrumbowiePS even managed…

Day 2 with P4-7 @AvonbridgePS at @DrumbowiePS. Children progressed from yesterday's origami instructions to designing and building the basic shapes of their own prototype boats. Creativity and collaboration continued despite the rising classroom temperature! 🥵

A big thank you to all the staff for your engagement in today's twilight session. 😁 Looking forward to tomorrow!🛥

Ahoy there! A very productive project launch with P4-7 @AvonbridgePS and @DrumbowiePS as they begin their voyage to becoming marine engineers and boat builders 🚣. Taking a risk, showing resilience and encouragement were in evidence as they helped each other make origami boats.

Thank you to the lovely member of staff at Avonbridge Primary School who just welcomed us in to set up for tomorrow! It’s wonderful to be back in #Falkirk after several years! We’re really looking forward to this mini-project with P4-7! @AvonbridgePS @DrumbowiePS 🤩
