We’re going to the zoo!

Primary 2/3 are very excited because on the 26th May, they are going to visit Edinburgh Zoo with Primary 2 to help them learn more about their topic, ‘Living and non-living things.’

For our topic, had to sort some pictures in to categories, but Mrs Horne didn’t tell us what these were.  After a while we worked out it was living and non-living things.  Then the next day we spent some time outside photographing examples of living and non-living things.

The planter boxes have flowers in them – these are living things.

We have art work around the school to make the playground more interesting – these are non-living things.

 

Some children have been learning how to write a report and they are going to be writing their own report next week.

Last week we planted some seeds to grow for our class planters, and this week many of them have started to show tiny green shoots.  We have also worked some more on our planters and hope to have them ready to go on show soon.

 

We all think it is great to see Ms Barr starting back at Bankton and we had great fun in her lessons this week.
