After leaving some potatoes on the windowsill for a short time to allow their shoots to sprout we planted them in potato sacks and have left them in the garden to grow. We will keep covering the plants as they grow, as this will encourage them to produce more potatoes, and give them plenty of water. We will harvest in the autumn, cook them and eat them in nursery. Delicious! Next week we are going to plant some beans and sunflower seeds in special little plastic pockets which we attach to the window. We will put a wet towel in the pocket and then a bean or seed and watch as it starts to grow roots, a stem and then leaves.Come a take a look.

We found some fantastic footage of farm animals on YouTube this week. There were lots of different types of animal and we were able to listen to the sounds they make. It was well worth watching and provoked lots of interest and discussion.

Everyone should have been given a letter about our trips to Beecraigs Country Park. We are only able to take children who have returned a completed excursions form so please make sure this is returned to nursery as soon as possible. We need a few parents to help with each group, there is a sign up sheet in the cloakroom.
