Today, Primary 6 went insect hunting with Mr McMullan to see if we could find some bees in the local area.
We found some amazing insects including a red tailed bumblebee and a really weird fly that looked like a wasp!

Here is a great website to help us identify the different types of bumblebee!
Check out some of the pictures and videos.
Today, Primary 1 were learning about the anatomy of a honey bee!
Firstly we learned that bees have 3 body parts, 6 legs and 4 wings.
Our honey bees are mostly black and have small yellow stripes.
Then Primary 1 made these brilliant anatomy posters!
well done
The gardening competition is underway and primary 2/3 have made a great start with some beautiful viola’s, pansies, strawberries and peas.
They also planted a bag of potatoes.
They now need to keep watering and weeding the bed to make sure that it stays beautiful.
Primary 7 have also been planting and have cleaned up some of the other beds.
They planted onions, strawberries, peas, beans and flowers.
Here are some more beautiful examples well done everyone .
