P2/3 Farmers at Love Gorgie Farm

Leave a reply

Primary 2/3 had a fantastic time at Gorgie Farm learning about plants and seeing the garden. We loved learning about flowers, vegetables  and fruits and how to grow them.

 We also enjoyed seeing the turkeys and chickens. Thanks to Seamus and his lovely team for also creating a fantastic game so we could learn the names of flowers and vegetables.  It was great fun!

Label Your Clothes and Bring Appropriate Clothing

Even unique style choices can get mixed up.

We’re only 3 days into term and we already have a mound of lovely, brand new, lost property building up.

Sadly lots of it is unlabelled so we can’t save you the trouble of searching and reunite it for you.

Please remember with uniform, and even without, many of the children have identical items of clothing so writing a name inside in permanent fabric marker, embroidering a name or sewing in a tag is vital.

Also please remember that a coat is vital every day with Edinburgh’s variable weather.
