To link together our animal classification and community topics, Primary 2 visited Gorgie City Farm. We looked at the different animals to decide if they were mammals, birds or reptiles. We also thought about the different activities we can do in the local community.
Here are our some of our highlights:
I liked the lambs because they were climbing up on the wall and because one of the lambs was trying to get the milk from the mummy (Charlize).
My favourite was the lambs because they were cute (Laila).
I liked the pigs as my favourite because they were so cute (Finn).
My favourite part was the park because it was fun and we got to play (Aoife).
The park with the spinny thing was the best because it spins you (Aroon).
I liked the park because there was a big slide and it was really fun (Isla K).
We liked the playpark because it was fun because I kept going into the little hut to because it was my base (Harrison).
My favourite animals were the chickens because they were clucky and funny (Xander).
I liked the cows (Thomas).
I liked the goats because I liked their horns (Halden).
Primary 5 are now learning about the Tropical Rainforest whilst also learning about note-taking and rewriting texts in their own words. They are particularly interested in learning about the layers of the rainforest, the vegetation, animals, the climate and location of rainforests. They have been watching videos, reading books and researching on the internet to widen their knowledge and understanding and have also created some wonderful art. There has also been some really impressive writing generated by their interest.
