This term Primary Five are very lucky to be working with Brian in the outdoor area.  This week in taught writing we learned how to write a recount.  Baighley has written an excellent blog detailing what out class did for outdoor learning.

On Monday Primary Five were working with their outdoor specialist, Brian, to plant garlic in the outdoor area.

The day started with the children making their way to the outdoor classroom to gather some equipment.  They used the shovels to prepare the planters, remove weeds and turn the soil over.  They also removed any sticks and stones from the planters.

After that ,Primary Five took the garlic that Primary Three planted in pots before Christmas and replanted it in the outdoor planters.  The roots had already started to grow and looked like white worms.  Meanwhile groups of other children were weeding the extra planters.

Primary Five will continue to work with Brian in the outdoor area for the next ten weeks.  Keep checking the blog to see what they have been doing.
