Wow we have been so busy in the last 2 weeks after coming back from our Easter break.

We are now going swimming lessons on a Friday morning with all the children taking part.

We have also been lucky enough to have a visit to Tesco’s in Keith to see where the fruit and vegetables come. We noticed that they are importing things from all over the world.

Firstly we went on the shop floor and we had to find fruit and vegetables which were the colours of the rainbow. This was tricky for the vegetable group as they could not find anything that was blue! Mrs Reid then told us that you can get blue potatoes, so thats something we need to look out for.

In 2 groups we then had to estimate the weight of the items in our basket and then went to the checkout and checked our results.

We also visited  the bakery department and were lucky enough to get to make our won doughnuts and sugar them too.

Alan Linee also came and visited us at our school and talked to us about foraging and natural history. He talked about bush craft and helped us identify different plants in our playground. We looked at the 4 main things you need to survive in bush craft and they are  Shelter, food water and fire and what they can help you do.
