The results from an education week with Troon Primary School were excellent. The children of Maple Class, under the guidance of Mrs Treen and Mrs Lamb had a chilly, but exciting day onsite, digging and finding, photographing finds and helping to make a neolithic grass basket. The next two days were spent at school, making flags and decorating them with stone age symbols from hand made charcoal paint. Pop up Quoits were made and decorated with mud paint. The children wrote poems inspired by the monument with the guidance of Gary Matthews.
The Giant Quoit
The Quoit is like a kangaroo jumping over the stone
The Quoit is like a hard stone bed for a cat
The Quoit is a shed they have tools in
The Quoit is a square crisp for a bear to eat
The Quoit is my gran standing next to me

The Quoit is a three legged cat and its leg has fallen off
The Quoit is a rocky cave with stalactites on the roof
The Quoit is a colassall declicuos pepperoni pizza
The Quoit is a giant uncomfortable leather sofa
The Quoit is a very old man with a walking stick

The devils frying pan
The quoit is a block of shiny cheese
The quoit is an abandoned block of cheese
The quoit is sparkly it glistens in the sun
The quoit is shiny and fresh
The quoit is gleaming
