Primary 2 have been planting potatoes to harvest in June. Colin, who works at McCains, came to help us learn all about what potatoes need to grow. Our potatoes are growing well and we are all enjoying looking after them.

Primary 2a learn about giving directions using Beebots
The circles maths group in P2a have been using Beebots to help them learn about giving directions. The class have been instructing the Beebots to go forward and turn left and right using quarter and half turns to reach a particular place on the Beebot street.

Primary 2 visit Broughty Ferry Beach
On a sunny Wednesday morning in September (after two days of storms!) all three Primary 2 classes visited Broughty Ferry Beach.
Our topic in Term 1 had been about the seashore so this was a great opportunity to learn more from the Countryside Rangers who met us there. We took park in some activities including a game to identify local seashore wildlife and we helped clear up and sort out the litter we found on the beach. Between the two groups we found lots of bits of plastic which we learned will not disappear over time and is very dangerous to the sea birds.
Some of us also had the chance to take part in a scavenger hunt where we had to find some items on the beach and put them in a bag. We took these back to school and had a closer look at the shells and the feathers. We had to throw away some of the items we collected because they were so smelly!
