As part of our new topic, Primary 4 have been learning all about climates around the world and how they affect the growth of food. We researched and described what the weather is like in polar, desert, tropical and temperate climates. We learnt that Scotland has a temperate climate, which has mild summers and cold winters.
We used our ICT and reading skills to research which foods are commonly produced in Scotland. We found that although our climate is not hot enough to grow some of the fruits that we like to eat, we can still grow lots of different things like potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and berries. Â We are hoping to select and grow some of the fruit and vegetables we have found in our own school grounds this term!
