We were learning indoors and outdoors today as groups of children and their visitors explored our amazing sensory garden. \u00a0One of the tasks was to use your senses to record what they could see, hear, touch and smell in the garden. \u00a0Another task was to search for shapes in the garden. \u00a0Back in the classroom we were making our own plant pots from newspaper. \u00a0It was tricky but fun! \u00a0We then planted a sunflower seed in this. \u00a0We enjoyed looking at sunflowers and drawing the beautiful flower. \u00a0We have some great artists in P2\/3. \u00a0It is great to look after our environment so we also reused materials to make a ‘rot pot’ otherwise known as a compost bottle. \u00a0We showed our knowledge of looking after a plant by sorting words into two columns, what a plant needs and parts of a plant.<\/p>\n
Some of our visitors also shared their knowledge with us about planting and where the sunflowers came from. \u00a0Do you know?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n We hope you enjoy looking at some of our picture and reading the comments that the children shared after the event.<\/p>\n “I enjoyed doing the cut and stick with my mum. \u00a0It was good having her to help me.” \u00a0Rocco<\/p>\n “I liked it when Danielle came in to help me and Cole make the compost bottle.” Caolan<\/p>\n “My favourite activity was drawing the sunflower because I like drawing. \u00a0I was happy to see my gran.” \u00a0Katie<\/p>\n “I liked the cutting out the words and putting them on the sheet.” Aaron<\/p>\n “I went out into the garden looking for things with my family. \u00a0My mum was frightened when she saw the spiders.” \u00a0Emma<\/p>\n “I went outside with Mrs Ewart and I saw a slug. \u00a0It was moving really slow next to the yellow plant.” \u00a0Gerrard<\/p>\n “I liked my mum coming to help me do my work. \u00a0We cut the grass in the garden. \u00a0I gave my mum an invitation to come.” Aiden<\/p>\n “I liked today because my mummy came and my wee sister. \u00a0We went outside to cut the grass for the compost bottles.” Bekah<\/p>\n “I was happy because my mum came to help me. \u00a0The compost bottle was fun and I liked spraying the water into it. \u00a0I liked planting the seed and can’t wait to take it home.” \u00a0Cole<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Where you a visitor in our classroom today?<\/p>\n Why don’t you tell us what you enjoyed?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Primary 2\/3 welcomed their visitors today and they were excited to share their learning. \u00a0We have been learning about what a plant needs to grow and we have been demonstrating this by taking care of the beans we planted.
