Here are some more snaps of our farming visit from Katie. 🐄🐖👨‍🌾🌾

Katie also spoke about the different crops that farmers grow and we looked at oats, barley and wheat. 🌾

We also learned about how farmers tag 🏷️ the cows 🐄 and why. We looked at the tool they use as well as some of the tools to give the cows medication.

We learned about how a farmer delivers a baby cow and sometimes there are problems. We had some helpers from the class to explain what the farmer does to save the cow and baby calf. 🐄🐮

Katie spoke about Diary Farming and how we get milk 🥛 from cows 🐄

We had Katie from RHET today, she is a farmer and she came to our classroom to do a talk on food and farming. She spoke about foods and where they are grown in Scotland. 🐂🐄🐖🌾👨‍🌾

We chose different active ways to practise our spelling this week. We worked hard on writing dictated sentences with our target words too.

In writing, we planned an imaginative story with a spooky theme! We had to develop a setting, key characters and a problem/plot twist! Next week we will focus on the use of VCOP and using paragraphs to structure our stories.

Our amazing award winners this week! J did a wonderful job of using diacritical marking, E was very supportive towards others and L showed care and kindness by looking after our classroom. We are very proud of you all. #personalachievements
