Primary 6 had a fantastic day out at Edinburgh’s Botanic Gardens on Monday. We spent the morning exploring the gardens. We followed a task sheet as we looked for particular flowers, trees, sculptures and animals located around the site. In the afternoon we took part in workshops organised by staff from the gardens. These focused on the life of plants – starting as seeds and ending in flowering and reproduction. We also used magnifying glasses to study plants up close and special glasses to see things as insects do! All in all, it was a brilliant day and the children were a credit to the school as they participated in all the activities.
