Pupils from Sciennes Primary School visit Surfers

Following an email sent to our web site , we had a visit on 10th June from 3 pupils and their teacher from Sciennes Primary School – they were doing a project on what older people would like in the community

They arrived with their clipboard at the ready and were completely unselfconscious at putting their questions to us as the ‘older generation’ It was an interesting and really fun hour-and-a-bit. The questions the children had prepared were intelligent and relevant and our answers were carefully written down. They had obviously carefully researched and prepared both for their project and their visit to us.

The children’s visit coincided with a wee celebration as one of the Surfers was celebrating an important birthday, so there was a birthday cake and juices to be shared with everyone. Photographs were taken during and after their visit and talks are now in progress for an ongoing
Intergenerational project with the school - watch this space!!!
