The summer holidays are getting closer but we are still so busy!  Here is a little snapshot of our week.

We have been continuing to enjoy using the loose parts in our playground.  We have been making obstacle courses as well as enjoying some relaxing time!

 On Wednesday we took part in the Redwell Marathon.  EVERYONE in our class ran at least a mile and altogether we ran 38.5 miles!  Mrs Morton was amazed at our achievement.  Thank you to our families and friends who came along to cheer us on and to run with us.  That’s what we call team work!

Wednesday was a really busy day for us as we also had a visit from Mr McLaren who is a local farmer.  Mr McLaren told us all about his farm, what happens throughout the farming year and about the animals and plants he grows on his farm.  We all enjoyed looking at some of the plants and at the fantastic pictures he showed us.  The combine harvester was our favourite.  This was a fantastic way to finish our Food and Farming topic  and also make links to real life jobs. (Thank you to our P2M photographers!)

During our Show and Tell this week we found out about snorkelling, favourite toys, and saw some very cute baby photos.  Well done everybody!  Thank you to E and M for being our photographers.

Finally for this week, we met up with Mrs Johnstone to find our how the school gardens are getting on.  We had a look at the planters and the vegetable garden and we were able to pick some lettuce and beetroot.  We also helped Mrs Johnstone and some community volunteers who were constructing a path near our pond.  It was a messy job but someone had to do it!  Mrs Johnstone is doing a fantastic job in our grounds and we have really enjoyed working and learning with her.

Please remember to look out for any reading books which may still be at home and return any sponsor money as soon as you can.

Thank you!
