A sod of turf: Senior infants

Mrs. Newell brought some turf from the bog in to school to show us.  We talked about using turf in the fires in our chimneys to keep us warm, and we talked about where turf comes from.  This turf came from a bog, and is made up of rottted trees, leaves, grasses and mud.  When it is dried it burns well and a turf fire smells really nice.  We each had a look at the turf, and we tried holding it and smelling it.
