Planting in the School Garden
First class had a great day out in the School Garden. The sun was shining and we got to see lots of wonderful plants that are growing in the garden. We heard the birds singing and we even got to see some birds in the trees. The school garden was lovely and tidying, so a big thank you to all the parents and children who helped to tidy up the garden a few weeks ago.
After exploring the garden,the class then got to work planting some seeds. We are making a herb patch in the garden. We planted parsley, chives and basil. We used our trowels to dig into the soil. We then placed the seeds in and covered them with soil. The plants were then watered.We hope that the weather will stay nice so that our herbs will grow.

Mini - Beast Hunt
In October we were fortunate enough to have a beautiful day to go out and see how many mini-beasts we could find. We used pooters to collect and observe these, analysing how many body parts, legs, tentacles etc each mini-beast had. We then released them back into the wild of course!
