Newton Primary School P6’s Adventure in Dunblane by Sophie, Hannah and Bethan


On Tuesday 26th September, P6 from Newton Primary School had an amazing experience in Dunblane as part of our Context for Learning ‘Destination Dunblane’. We wrote letters to a huge variety of different places including businesses, places of interest and places of relaxation. We also had to investigate places to live and different kinds of churches in Dunblane.


We split into 4 groups to cover all of our research areas. We all completed surveys about aspects of Dunblane and carried out interviews. Surveys included finding out all the different places to relax, work, live and visit in Dunblane. All the groups went into different places like Bennett’s Butchers, Cathedral City Estate Agents, The Cathedral, Dunblane Centre, Toy Hub, the Museum, Old Churches House and many more. The housing group also interviewed people walking on the High Street! If you fancy running a business in Dunblane, there are 3 empty shops on the high street so here’s your chance!


We would like to give a big thank you to: all parent helpers, P6 teachers, business owners and everyone else who made this trip possible. A special mention to India Gate for letting the Relaxation Group explore their kitchen and making the group some Indian treats, The Free Church for giving us a place to eat our lunch and giving us some snacks and for Choices Deli for giving us Gingerbread Men!


“We felt very mature interviewing people in our local community.” Amelia and Hazel “The trip was awesome!” Jack “One of the best trips.” Bethan “It was super, fun and amazing” Lily
