On Friday afternoon we do gardening. The gardening is p1 to p5 but last Friday it was p1 to p7. The p7s where tiding the shed. P1 to p5 where pulling out weeds and me and Annie where planting plants or flowers and the p3s where putting plants in the Easter Island head because there topic was about Easter Island so Miss Brown thought they should put plants in the Easter Island head. And the bell went for play time and after play time we went back to gardening and we were doing the same except from p3/4 they finished the Easter Island head so they where pulling out weeds then the bell went for home time so we stopped and went to wash our hands.
