Harvest at Grandtully

Last school year, before the summer holidays we planted tiny seeds in the ground. We gave them some water and pulled out all the weeds so they would get more sunlight. When we came back to school in August all the seeds had grown. This week we have been harvesting our food.
P1 found potatoes
We used our sounds to call them different names ‘t’ for tatties, ‘p’ for potatoes ‘s’ for spuds

We are going to put them in our soup for our harvest showcase.

We have two apple trees, we had to pull down the branches and stand on our tip toes to pick the apples. We dried them and wrapped them in newspaper to keep them nice and fresh.

P1 used their drawing skills to tell the story of how they picked the apples.

SUMDOG

Sumdog is a big favourite here at Grandtully, great for getting our pupils thinking about their mental maths. Each pupil has a log in and can log in from school or home. Look out for Mrs Gibson’s challenges!

www.sumdog.com

Favourite website

My favourite website is sumdog because it is so fun and it can teach you  so much and you can have different topics and you can get pets and challenges to complete and you  get to change your outfit and your hair and some times they want to see what level you are in your learning. My favourite topic is maths because it is the most fun and some times you get easy ones and some times you get hard ones.

Please leave a comment and tell us what your favourite website is, we would love to know.

We went out side to do some art BUT we spotted something unusual on the mound THEY WERE DRAGON EGGS one had a magic painting on it. After that we took the eggs inside, made a picture of the dragons and painted our eggs.   Charlie and I made a dragon letter in dragon writing for the mother dragon we pretended that  the playground was a dragon world. We also found some dragon files but there are some more about those in a different blog and some sparkly gems.
