Getting Competitive!

Spring is finally here! Which means lots of beautiful sunny afternoons we can spend outside. WE LOVE SPRING! Today we played dodgeball with Rooms 2 and 3. We had never played dodgeball before so we lost our first game, but once we got the hang of things we won one! Even Miss Gardner, Mrs Bedford and Ms Waterman played. We had so much fun. We are going to keep practicing so we can get even better and challenge Room 3 again!

Here are some photos:




Getting our hands dirty!

We have been reading a fantastic book called "Let's Saved the Animals" It has given us some great ideas on cool things we can do to help our environment!


We decided to start by helping the monarch butterflies.


We thought the best way to do this would be to grow some swan plants.


We bought some seeds from Oderings Nurseries. We guessed that the seeds were going to be very small.


And we were right!

We used peat pallets instead of soil. They started off hard and small but when we soaked them in water they ended up looking like this:


They expanded in the water! Now they feel soft and wet.


We each put a seed in our containers.


Now we need to put our seeds in a sunny warm place so they can grow big and strong. The packet says it can take up to 2 weeks for the seeds to germinate but we will be checking them for signs of growth every day!

Keep checking back to see how we are getting on in our mission to save the monarch butterflies!

Now we are 18!

Room One would like to welcome our 3 newest gorgeous class members:


Aiman

Kenta
Sakura

Bringing us to a grand total of 18 and making Room One the coolest class that ever was!
