Life Outside Holmston

What do the pupils get up to when they're not at school?

At the February mid-term holiday, the BBC came to town (well, to Glasgow University actually) with an Dinosaur exhibition based on their "Walking With Dinosaurs" TV series.

The exhibition had lots of entertainment, including a "Race The Dinosaur" game which had crowds of children throughout the day. Our picture, right, shows one taking off to run down a track the length of the building, pursued, after being given a short "start", by flashing dinosaur footprints and sound effects. Terrifying...

On the next few pages, we've kept some holiday photos and reports.

We've got reports on a Surprise Llama at Kirkcudbright; Vikings at Largs; the "Big Idea" Inventor Centre in Irvine; strange things in the woods in the Galloway Forest Park; and there's more snake-handling, and other strange events, at Butterfly World in Dalkeith, Edinburgh.

The regular pet cats are still here and here, along with Rachael's cat.

And there's still a small feature on Pokémon.

Last, quick reports on trips to Lindisfarne in Northumberland, Life Interactive World in Newcastle, and a Belgian warship, the "Westdiep", also in Newcastle.
