Over last week and this week we have had two trips to the library and Morrisons att Carmondean. In the library we had tasks to do to help us find books using alphabetical order for fiction books and the Dewey decimal system for non-fiction books.  In Morrisons we tasted some fresh fruit, and talked about canned fruit and dried fruit. We met a fishmonger who gutted a fish and a butcher who showed us pieces of meat and talked about what animals they came from. The baker showed us how he made donuts and rolls.

This week we had an extra adventure on the way up to Carmondean . We saw a Blue tit caught in some fishing string.   Mrs Smith picked up to the Blue Tit in her scarf and tried to untangle the fishing string. She asked Mrs Findlay for her car keys to try and cut the sring.  Meanwhile, Mrs Findlay and Mrs Farrell stated to open the first aid bag to find scissors, but the scissors were not sharp ended so the twine could not be cut enough to loose the birds  toes.  Mrs Smith decided it was best to call the SSPCA and continue to Carmondean.

While at the library Mrs Smith lay the Blue Tit down on the librarians desk, wrapped in the scarf, so she could help with a task.  When it was time to go, we were going to put the bird in a box to keep at the library until the man from the SSPCA arrived.   However, we found out the bird was gone!     It was now time to leave so the SSPCA man just had try and find it himself,  we still dont know how it escaped or where the bird hid.  Later, back at school, Mrs Young got a phone call from the SSPCA man and he said that he had found the Blue Tit, taken off the string and it was back in the wild.       By Owen, Lily-rose and Mrs Smith .
