We cleared the planters in the garden then planted carrots and flowers. We picked up lots of rubbish and tided up the garden. Great work P4/5!
We joined an online RHET session with an Ayrshire Potato Farmer who told us all about the process of planting, growing and harvesting potatoes. We contributed questions online during the presentation to deepen our understanding then we completed a persuasive writing task to create a poster to persuade people about the goodness and benefits of potatoes.
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.
As part of a RHET project to grow your own potatoes, we have planted our potatoes. Fingers crossed we get a good crop!
