“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.

 

Primary 2.2 have been working on the theme of Robots for their IDL context.

The children have been learning about the properties of different materials and experimenting with a range of materials to create the robots which they have invented.  They have come up with some very creative robot ideas including robots who can clean their rooms and robots who can do hairstyles!

“My robot helps me to clip clasps into my hair.  Se can also put in colourful bobbles.”  Ellie Mann

“My robot can fix I-Phones quickly.” Jack Stevenson
