After dinner we had just enough time to spare for a quick play in the playground.  Here are just a few of us having fun.

Here’s our map of the play area using natural resources.

Another example of the fabulous maps we made of the play area.

We all enjoyed a delicious ice cream or ice lolly after finishing our first map challenge.

We were very proud of our maps of the playground using natural resources found lying around the park.

Our first activity was to locate various features around the park.  Each time we found one we had to then work out where exactly this place was on the map.  It was great fun and even the damp weather didn’t put us off.

Sadly it was all over and we had to leave the park.  We were a bit soggy but great fun was had by all!

In Science we have been learning a lot about plants and what they need in order to grow well.  A few weeks ago we all planted a seed or a bulb so we could compare which grew the best.  We discovered that the seeds tended to germinate the fastest but then the bulbs caught up and ended up…

We all took part in our annual sports morning. The children were fantastic and competed brilliantly. We also saw some pre-schoolers racing and my all time favourite… the Mums/Dads and Grandparents race! 
Well done to Castle Reds who won

Today we learnt a very technical term in Science - germination.  Here are our beans in bags with very wet paper towels.  Fingers crossed they will germinate successfully so we can see how roots and shoots appear in real life.
