Wednesday 12th June 2019 - A few sleepy heads arrived for breakfast this morning, but with the choice of a full cooked breakfast, cereal, fruit and juice - there was plenty to fill their stomachs with. The first things on the agenda was a tour of the city centre with local tour guide, Jenny, she was able to share some brilliant facts about this ancient place. One of the most intriguing facts was that Edinburgh castle was built on an ancient volcano! A tour of the castle was next with pupils fascinated with the walkways and views overlooking the old town below. Next up, was a bite to eat back in the hotel, and another bus trip across the city to Deep Sea World - this aquarium is right beside the impressive Forth Rail Bridge - pupils got the opportunity to travel through an underground sea world on a converyor belt witnessing sharks, eels, mantra rays with tons of fish! We even got the opportunity to learn more about sea-lions at an afternoon show. From here, pupils went back to the hotel for their tea, and then got their bowling shoes on for some ten-pin bowling. It was great to see the children enjoying themselves having fun with their peers. Tomorrow, we are going to the Edinburgh Butterfly World and the Time Capsule. Due to the weather forecast (torrential rain!), we've had to make changes to our timetable. Another busy day ahead. ☺
