Gardening




We have been working on our garden for the last four weeks. Room 4 have been planting ..... Strawberries,Carrots,Potatoes,Radishes ,Lettuces ,Nasturtiums and Herbs. We are also going to plant peas and beans. On Wednesdays we have been pulling out weeds in the garden and surrounding areas. We have also been learning about when and where to plant all the different plants. It is our topic with Mrs Calder and we all really enjoy it. This is what stage our plants are at now. We will keep you up to date on when things are growing. CALEB AND MIKAYLA.

Speeches


We had to write and practise our speeches on an Olympic sport.We had to look up information about the sport or the person we were doing. We then had a competition.Our speech had to last 2 minutes and be really interesting. There were three groups made up of 5 yr 4's, 5 yr 5's and 5 yr 6's. There was only one winner from each yr. The winners were Liam B for yr 4's, Ben D for yr 5's and Andrew S for yr 6's. Because they are the winners they have to stand up in assembly on Friday and say their speech in front of everybody.
