Growing plants
After reading Jack and the Beanstalk, we decided to grow our own beans and are learning what plants need to grow.
We all planted our own bean, but also planted a bean which we are not going to water, one that is not going to have light and one with out soil. We are also going to measure each week how high they have grown and record our findings.
Measure
In Numeracy P1/2 have been learning measure in different ways and in different places!
Stirling Castle
We had a glorious day with bright sunshine most of the day. We were joined by Rhys’s Gran and Harrison’s Gran too. (Thank you, ladies,!) We split up into two groups, but met up for a lovely picnic lunch at the cannons.
There were super exhibitions to see and the players in the castle were keen to involve the children. The chambermaid of Mary Queen of Scots told us all about her life and one of the groups was even taught a dance in the Great Hall by a Lady in Waiting.
The children got to see what people ate in Medieval times in the Great Kitchen and how young boys had the job of turning the spits at the fire. They particularly enjoyed trying on clothes, playing the musical instruments of the time and having fun with the jester.
Throughout our walks the children were knowledgeable about parts of the castle and how they could defend the castle.
At the very end it was time for the shop and the most popular things bought were of course….swords and catapults!
