Primary 3/4 had a fantastic visit to Heathhall Garden Centre as part of our learning about Plants.
We loved exploring the Garden Centre to find the plants in our Scavenger Hunt and then had fun creating our own clues for a partner. We learned the names of lots of new plants and how to look after them. We used our skills of observation to sketch a variety of plants found at the Garden Centre, looking carefully at the different parts of each plant. We sketched healthy plants and discussed the different needs of the plants. Everyone enjoyed refreshments in the tearoom before continuing our learning tasks.
Colin, the plant manager was very impressed with the questions we asked to learn more about looking after plants. We bought broad beans to carry out our own investigations back in school to determine all the different factors that affect the growth of a plant. We also bought Nasturtium and Sweet Pea seeds in order to grow our own plants back in school.
Thank you very much to Mr Barr and all the staff at Heathhall Garden Centre for their hospitality, making us feel welcome and their help and support in making this a fantastic class visit!
A fantastic visit from the Vikings, Cathbad and Bjorn!
Primary 3/4 had lots of fun learning more about life in Viking times. We enjoyed dressing up, making a shield wall with our own decorated Viking shields, listening to Viking stories, playing the exciting Settlers game and sharing our learning.
Thank you Bjorn and Cathbad!
