A bat in our class


Jordan found a little bat by his window at home. Unfortunately it had died. He brought it in to school to show us all. We all had a look at the bat. We could see its wings, tail, ears, toes. We wonder what happened to it.

Planting Seeds

Today we planted some seeds. We are trying to grow tomatoes from seed. Teacher brought in some soil and some compost from her garden. We talked about compost and how to make good compost from left-over food and peelings. We had 13 tomato seeds. We wonder how many will grow. Tomorrow we are going to plant broad beans. We put them into a cup of water overnight to help soften the seeds. Tomorrow we are going to plant them in some interesting ways.
March 19th, 2009. Look at how big our broad beans have grown.

Fun in the Snow

We are having a very cold week. We have had frost, ice and even some snow. We went outside in the snow when it was snowing. We tried to look at the 6 sided snowflakes but they melted very quickly.
