Bluetits

Two Bluetits built  a nest in teacher's bird house. It is amazing how they construct it. They now have baby birds and the mam and dad are very busy feeding them.  I'm not sure how many as I can't peep in in case I disturb them..

Our Caterpillars.

We got our 5 caterpillars in the post from Insect Lore during the week. We will watch their development over the next few weeks.

Student Teachers

Our 2 student teachers finished their time with us on Friday.They took the kids on a  Bear Hunt around the school and had a party in the afternoon. We will miss them and teacher has to go back  working on Monday!

Our Magic Beans.

Teacher took the beans home for Easter so that she could keep them watered. They grew very well and we planted them in our raised bed . We will have to replant our vegetables as the weather was so dry over Easter  they didn't grow . Our chives are lovely with pink flowers.  We made a wigwam from bamboo rods so the beans can climb up. We have 2 student teachers with us for 2 weeks, Miss Costello and Miss Byrne.

Easter egg hunt.

We had great fun on Friday on our Easter Egg Hunt. Teacher put chocolate bunnies in coloured plastic eggs and hid them at the side of the school under the trees and long grass.Mrs Carleton came with us on the hunt. They were all found and eaten. Yummy!

Magic Runner Beans.

Today we planted our "magic" runner beans in pots. I read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk first. We will keep them inside till they start to sprout, then we will transfer them to our raised bed. The kids thought they looked like chocolate beans!

Raised bed

We planted vegetables in our raised bed on Friday. We planted, lettuce. beetroot, spinach ,  radishes and onions ,all from seed. We look forward to their  growth.
