Fun with vegetables...

On Wednesday we headed out to the garden to harvest some vegetables. We picked cabbages and carrots. The carrots were in all kinds of crazy shapes! Carrots and cabbage made me think the best choice was to make a coleslaw so I got chopping, and after PE we sat down and got stuck in.

Thursday was the first day of Mrs Cameron's the gardening club, and it was great to see number of Rm 17 kids going along to help. I wonder what they'll be planting next...

Sharing our learning about the Celts!

Here are some photos of Rm 17 sharing their stories and research during our sharing morning and also with our buddy class. We hope you enjoyed coming in to see and hear about some of the things the children were learning!

Poetry Performance

Today the class worked in pairs to make up actions and perform the poem we have been reading this week, "Windy Nights". It was great to see so much creative thinking and co-operation! The photos were just snapped quickly, but I hope you can get some idea of what went on. Here's the text of the poem, so if you're interested please ask your child to perform it for you...

Windy Nights

Rumbling in the chimneys,

Rattling at the doors,

Round the roofs and round the roads,

The rude wind roars;

Raging through the darkness,

Raving through the trees,

Racing off again across the great grey seas.
