A Day in the Garden with Area 1 |
 |
 |
 |
|
It was a very, very busy day for Area1. We started in the garden where we looked at the punnets of seedlings we were going to plant in our “Mr. Mc.Gregor’s garden”. We looked at baby carrots and how small they were and we were worried that the hot sun would shrivel them up. We had some bean seedlings too, not the French beans that Peter Rabbit ate, ours are runner beans. Red veges were in, with lettuce with lovely red edges on the leaves and we also had some red onions, which the children know are good for using in salads. Click Here to view our pictures |

What's happening in the Kitchen Garden? |

 Area 2 continued with "The Tales of Peter Rabbit" and his adventures in Mr. MacGregor’s garden. This week the lucky students were cooking foods using yummy fruit and vegetables that Peter would have tried as he ate in Mr. MacGregor’s garden.
Three lovely mothers volunteered to come in and Ms. Punch and Ms. Kee also helped out. One group cooked a Purple Porridge using different types of berries and honey. Some students ate so much we were worried they would end up with a tummy-ache just like Peter did in the story. |

INSPECTOR PICKLES
This performance set out to remind our students the importance of eating healthy foods. Inspector Pickles, like many people had a bad diet. However, with with the help of Sergeant Gherkin, he was convinced to change his eating habits. Our children loved this performance and were enthusiastic to engage with the performers on the stage.
