Visit to Mains Farm

” My thumb must taste nice, it was sucking my thumb.  It felt wet and soggy” – Max

We washed our hands thoroughly before leaving the farm.

“The cows are milked twice a day, 4.30am and the other at 3.00pm” – Mr Strang

Thank you Mr Strang for a most enjoyable and educational visit.

What a treat!

Science Experiment!

Mr Strang from Mains Farm came to visit our class.  We were learning how to plant our own potatoes.

Each day we will water the tubs to help them grow.

Josie – “The potatoes need water, light and mud to grow”.

 I have helped to grow plants and can name their basic parts.
I can talk about how they grow and what I need to do to look after them.

 

What is ‘Bounce Back!’?

Bounce Back! is an award winning positive education approach to wellbeing, resilience and social-emotional learning for primary school children.

Primary 2.2 have been learning about wellbeing and resilience strategies that they can use at times of upset to encourage positive thinking and mindfulness.

Bad feelings always go away again.

Other people can help you feel better if you talk to them.

Unhelpful thinking makes you feel more upset. Think again.

Nobody is perfect. Mistakes help you learn.

Concentrate on the good things and have a laugh.

Everybody feels sad and worried sometimes, not just you.
