Today year 5/6 had a visit from Lynn Greer, an environmentalist who works with the Pushkin Trust. She talked to us about soil which she called “green gold”.
We learned how precious soil is because only 3% of the world has soil which we can use to grow things. She told us that there are about 12 different types of soil in Ireland.
We had a go at making soil. We added sand, clay, water, small fragments of rock, leaves, air and salt for the minerals. We learned about different vegetables and whether they grow above or below the ground. We also learned about animals which we have in Northern Ireland and whether they live above or below the ground.
Our Year 2/3 class made these beautiful collages made out of recycled paper.
What a wonderful display of sunflowers welcoming us back to school after our Summer holidays!
A selection of pictures showing the Year 1 class busy planting seeds in our greenhouse and also going on a nature walk.
