We have planted our potato seeds in the soil. We will harvest our potatoes on the 16th June .

Today we had great fun celebrating World Book Day and sharing our favourite stories with the class.

Tomorrow (Thursday) is World Book Day. To celebrate, children are invited to bring in their favourite book from home. Don’t worry if you don’t have one – you can borrow a book from the class library.

We will be doing some fun activities in school.

Today Mrs Keith came to visit us and we did lots of problem solving.

We split into 7 groups and each had to solve a problem for her. Mrs Keith was very impressed with how hard we worked.

Making a bed big enough for Stickman…..

Making a tunnel for dinosaurs…..

Building a chair for Olaf……

Dressing the teddy bears……

Building a bridge for the billy goats…..

Making flowers for Olaf’s garden……

Yesterday we went along to the kitchen and made Fairtrade lemonade and Fairtrade chocolate and banana snacks.

Each class has to make a Fairtrade product in the kitchen and the Eco committee will judge who they think is the best.

We then went back to class and got to eat and drink what we had made. We thought we did a great job!

Today we celebrated Eco Day and learned all about being eco friendly.

We did different Eco activities in Miss Donald’s class, our own class and even got to back to the nursery for an activity!

With Miss Donald we learned all about saving energy and made a poster. With Miss Murray we grew cress heads in recycled pots and then wrote instructions – the cress should be grown by next Friday we hope.

Today we did more work on telling the time.
