Primary 2 Grow Their Own Soup And Salad! Following their successful Scottish food and drink context last term, the children in Primary 2 are hard at work growing their own Scottish vegetables.


Lots of good advice and support from Eleanor Muir, who farms near Doune, and lots of letter writing have produced a super new raised bed in our Eco garden, soil, compost and seeds. Look at what we’ve done so far:


“This is what you have to do. You have to turn the soil over.” Sophie


“We were trying to take out the stones. The stones block the seeds growing.”-Amelia


“When we dug for worms we found 6 and P2M found 2. In total we found 8. We had lots of fun.” Ilsa


..The worms had a special job to do… they help the soil keep healthy.” Hannah P/ Bethan


“We had to cover the soil with bin bags


to keep the soil warm before we plant the seeds.” Jamie C


“Next Mrs Sharp cut little stalks off potatoes so that all the goodness would go into the big stalk. The stalks got bigger and bigger in the class.” Emilie


With the soil prepared and warmed, we planted our beetroot, carrots, turnip, parsley, radish, leaf salad, lettuce, salad onion


seeds and seed potatoes. We


continue to care for them and watch them grow.


We look forward to harvesting our fantastic vegetables in June and making our own soup and salad.
