When the sun was shining we took the opportunity to run the daily mile, play ball games, skip, build, create and play games together.

P4/5 My World of Work
Mr Welsh came in to talk to the class about dairy farming and the different roles involved in running a dairy farm. The class looked at examples of feed the cows are given at different stages and all the parts that go into making it. We learnt about the machinery used and what life was like in a typical day of a dairy farmer. We also had the opportunity to discuss and compare the role of farming in the USA. Everyone had lots of interesting questions to ask to learn more about dairy farming. Many thanks to Mr Welsh for a great, interesting and enjoyable learning experience.
P4/5 Outdoor Learning and science
As part of a RHET project to grow your own potatoes, we have planted our potatoes. Fingers crossed we get a good crop!

As part of our Scotland topic we were learning about where foods come from ‘Farm to Fork’ such as oats, milk and bread. After learning about milk production Emily was able to experience milking first hand and shared some photos with us. When learning about lochs and mountains in Scotland we talked about the Gaelic names and meanings they have been given. Rosie brought in a Gaelic book she has from home.
