Our garden

Room 11 is learning about seeds and how plants grow.  Over the past few weeks we have been visiting the garden and watering the plants.  

Now we are very lucky to have our own Room 11 patch for planting!

We prepared the soil for planting by turning it over and making sure it was watered.  

Today we got to plant radish, snow pea and carrot seeds. 

We planted flower seedlings today aswell.  We planted them in pots to sell on our market day at the end of term.  

Kingston and Cynthia are making sure the new planted snow pea seeds get lots of water.

Scott has made the seedling nice and snug in the pot. 

Jaxin is ready to find a sunny spot for his new seedling. 

Room 11 loves gardening!

Life Education

On Friday Room 11 got to visit the Life Education caravan!

We met Murielle inside the caravan and she taught us all about being a V.I.P.  Can you remember what that means?  Tell your family if you can remember.

We also met Harold! Who helped Murielle to teach us all about
 being a V.I.P.

Murielle told us about 9 important things that we need to be healthy and happy.  Can you read these to your family? 

Room 11's Smartie Maths

On Monday Room 11 had lots of fun sorting Smarties.

 

We sorted our little packets into colour groups and put them on a graph.
 

We coloured in the graph to show the different colour groups.

We found that each packet had different colours.  In some, yellow was the most popular colour, and in others it was blue, green, red, orange, or pink.

 

Finally we got to eat them!  YUM!

 

Poem of the week!

Our poem this week is 'The Gardener Plants the Seeds' and it is also a song.  Room 11 will be planting seeds next week in the school garden.
