We\u2019ll finish the final instalment next week. Today we made plasticine coats for goats, using tools to help us.<\/p>\n<p>For the next part of our RSPB Wild Challenge we\u2019ve started planting and composting. We\u2019ve been saving our fruit peels and collecting the vegetable peels for the kitchen to feed to the worms in our compost bins. For our planting, first we are <strong>germinating<\/strong> seeds in the classroom in our makeshift green houses. We\u2019re hoping the shoots will start sprouting soon. Next week we will start planting seeds in our school garden.<\/p>\n<p>In numeracy this block we\u2019ve moved on to money \u2013 looking at the different coins and adding them up.
