Potato planting

Today we planted potatoes in buckets and also sunflowers we had planted from seeds. We planted them in recycled take away coffee cups and watched them sprout on the windowsill in our class. The sunflowers are by the swimming pool along with the buckets.
We enjoy watching their progress each day!

The fire truck comes visiting


The fire truck visited us today and we learnt to get down low and get out of a smokey house. We crawled under the black sheet and pretended it was smoke. We then all had a turn holding the hose and went through the back seat of the truck. We are going to write about this experience tomorrow!
