After arriving at the centre, we met the Lagganlia instructors who showed us around the site and explained the structure of our days for the rest of the week. After dinner, we then set off with torches to explore the site to complete a Scavenger Hunt.
As part of our Titanic topic, pupils took part in an exciting outdoor learning session where they designed and built their own miniature rafts using natural materials. Working in teams, they thought carefully about structure, balance and buoyancy before launching their creations into the river. The children loved seeing how their rafts travelled in the current, and the activity helped them make real‑life connections to the engineering challenges faced during the building of the Titanic.
