Primary 2

Potato photos:

We have been taking part in the RHET potato growing competition. We grew these potatoes from seed potatoes that we chitted in our classroom. We have been carefully looking after them and watching them grow. We harvested them on the 16th of June, and the next day we got to taste them as roast potatoes. P2 won the competition within the school, growing 1059g of potatoes! We are still waiting to hear the results for the wider competition.

Dance Photos:

Mrs Barry has been working with the class in their music lessons to create and perform a dance to Golden by Huntrix, from a class favourite 'K-pop Demon Hunters'. The class performed brilliantly for P3 and P4, as well as their teachers. Well done P2!

School Trip:

As we wrapped up our Farm to Fork topic, we had the pleasure of visiting Stewart Tower Dairy. We got to meet and learn from an arable farmer, Farmer Andy, who showed us different plants, and we made some flour from the wheat. Then the knowledgeable Farmer Neil, who owns the dairy farm, spoke to us after catching some cows that had escaped! We learned all about the cows and how they are cared for, as well as the journey milk takes to reach our plates. And best of all, we all got to enjoy a delicious ice cream at the end.

P2's topic is Farm to Fork this term, we are applying this learning across the curriculum. In our art lesson we learned about printmaking, first we learned what print making is and all the ways prints can be made. Then we used some vegetables to create our own prints. We could only use the vegetables and not the paint brushes on the paper, and had to use lots of different shapes to create an image.

In P2 this week we were making crispy cakes. We were learning to follow a simple recipe and we enjoyed getting to measure, melt and mix the ingredients up. We then got to take the cakes home and eat them at home hence why we've got all of our home stuff on in the picture.

'We have been learning about Victorian food in our topic this week, we looked at the different classes and what they ate in the Victorian times. Then we learned how to prepare some food ourselves, we chopped up peppers, cucumbers and carrots and ate them as a healthy snack!'

'We were lucky enough to have a special visitor to teach us all about Lunar New Year. We learned how to say Happy New Year in Chinese, played a Chinese instrument and made our own lanterns. Then we got to take part in a mini lantern parade to Chinese music.'
