Field Trip – Junior Room

 Kid Zone
May 262016
 

We have been learning about frogs, snails, spiders… in S.E.S.E.

In Art we have been painting, constructing and drawing these creatures.

On Tuesday 24th of May we went on a ‘Frog Hunt’ in a nearby field which has lots of ponds in it. We found lots of different creatures, including a newt!    We also collected seeds, pine cones, bones and snail shells. We really enjoyed our field trip as the sun was shining. But we were glad we wore our wellies!

Thank you to the Blake family for giving us permission to explore this wonderland!!!

Ms. Case returned to plant out our lettuces, strawberry plants and spring onions.

We learned about the benefit of compost to plants. Ms. Case demonstrated this by comparing 2 lettuce plants, which were planted at the same time, where only one had had banana skins, eggshells and teabags mixed through the soil. Can you guess which one in the top left picture?

Our Gardening

 Kid Zone
Apr 192016
 

We started our gardening segment this week by examining seeds. We then put beans in jars and will wait for them to germinate. Ms. Edwards made some lovely seed heads (grass seeds) with us and we look forward to snipping their ‘hair’ when they grow.

 

On Monday 18th April Ms. Case came in and helped us to sow cucumber, lettuce, sweetcorn and strawberries. The seeds are in our classroom and we plan to plant them out in May. The Case family also kindly donated some mature plants.
