Yesterday we went on our class trip to New Lanark.

We had to get a bus and the drive felt so long! – Luke

We split up into two groups to do different activites. – Manno

We went to a workshop and were given a detective hat to investigate things from the past.  – Eve & Alistair

We went to a house from 200 years ago. – Arjun

We learnt that they often only had one room and that lots of people from the same family would live there.  – Saransh

We got to dress up one person from our little group as a Mill Worker. We had to select the correct clothes that we thought they would wear. -Peggy

We looked at items and had to pick out the ones that we thought wouldn’t belong in the past. As they didn’t have electricty they would use a gas lamp for lights.- Harry M

We learnt that poeple would go to the toilet in a ‘chanty’ and they would then throw it out of the window. We all thought that sounded disgusting. -Hamish

We went on a ride called the ‘Annie McLeod’ experience where we learnt lots of interesting facts about the past. – Ryley

We got to see what the inside of a real life Cotton Mill would look like. – Emily

We enjoyed going down the slide and playing hopscotch. – Ami

There was also a lovely park that we were allowed to play in. There was a big climbing frame, a throne for a King or Queen, and a little house.  It was very fun.  – Harry C, Maya, Blain, Ryley, Afie

Lastly we went into a threate to watch a short movie. It was about a time traveller who discussed life in the futrure and in the past. – Elise, Grace

I really enjoyed our trip and I loved all the fun things we got to do. – Isla

Thank you so much to our wonderful parent helpers for coming with us! 🙂

Primary 2a had a fantastic morning out doing Beat the Street! We would like to say a huge thank you to our wonderful parent helpers. Only 2 more days to go, keep up the hard work! #BeattheStreet @BTS_BNM

This week we are hoping to incorporate Beat the Street into our Fit in 15!

Please keep your fob or card in your school bag this week so we can collect as many points for our school as we can.

We are still in 1st place! Keep up the hard work.

In class we have been learning about the life cycle of a plant – Hamish

We explored the different stages of a growing plant. We have a picture below to show you it – Elise

We planted our own seeds in class. We are going to watch these seeds grow and think about their life cycle. – Rory

We also have 4 other pots of seeds to watch grow in class. We are going to change the conditions of these plants and see which ones grow best. – Emily

We will keep you updated with how well our seeds grow.

We would love you to share pictures of your seeds growing at home in the comment box.
