Cookery ![🥗](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f957.png)
I think blue is even more difficult than purple so we will leave the cookery to orange.

So what about some carrot soup?
- Can help wash the carrots and other vegetables?
- Can you help peel?
- What about chopping and grating?
- Can you hear the soup bubbling away?
- Now it is cooked – what does it taste like – is it yummy?
Below are links to a few different recipes you may like to look at OR you may have one of your own REMEMBER to send in photos and your recommendations.![📷](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f4f7.png)

You may have noticed quite a lot of bees just now – bees are an important part of our world, they help to pollinate plants that create the food that we eat.

They is a link below from the BBC which shows you a wee video explaining the importance of the bees.

Arts and Crafts ![🎨](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f3a8.png)
We have use potatoes to do stamping and printing in the Pine Room and all enjoyed it – so this is a nice easy craft for you to do at home all you need is a potato, a knife, some paint and paper.

We all love Julia Donaldson – so if you haven’t read it for a while what about reading ‘The Whale and the Snail’ or use the link for Mrs Rutland reads….

The Whale and the Snail
Some other POLO Outside Activities:
- Shadow Drawing – we do this quite often in the Pine Class and all enjoy it, you do need a sunny day ( let’s be hopeful!!!!)and some chalk, but you can draw around anything that that creates a shadow – your dog, a plant pot, a garden gnome, a barbie doll, a box of cereal. Leave the object in the same position and later in the day draw round the shadow again – is it different??

- Making a Garden Picture – using things you can pick from your garden, then create a lovely picture, like this one from The Craft Train

HELLO Pine Class – How are you all? Did you have a good week? Did anyone make Blueberry Muffins from last week’s blog? I love Blueberry Muffins so if you do please send me some!!! Heather doesn’t bake!!! I have been watching some ‘Reality TV’ while Heather has been at work – Jardine and Boyle send me recommendations each week – Heather would prefer I watch something more educational! We have been tidying up her wardrope, I have great fun hiding in her piles of clothes and then surprising her!!! We had a wee cup of tea before she went off to Night Duty last night BUT we ran out of biscuits!!! Heather says if I moan once more about the lack of Custard Creams I am getting sent by Royal Mail back to Willowbank!!!
Have a great week Pine Class
Love Willow xxx
P.S. Send Custard Creams!!!
