Room 9 Term 3 (Day 1)

Grass Men

We put some grass seed and potting mix

into a stocking,

then tied a knot to make a ball.

We used rubber bands to make the ears and nose

and glued on some eyes.

We sat our heads in a container of water

and sprinkled water over the top.

When the grass had grown

we gave our grass men a haircut.

Growing Plants Indoors

We are learning about plants
and how to take care of them.

We have drawn plants
and labeled the parts.

We have planted bean seeds,
we watered them
and put them on the window sill
to see if they will grow.
After we had planted and watered
one seed we put it in a dark cupboard.
I wonder if it will grow?
Another seed we planted
we put on the window sill
but we did not water it.
Will it grow?
Our beans needed water and light and warmth from the sun to grow.

We grew some beans in water to watch the different stages of their growth.

Mr Carter's Farewell

On Friday 7th May

we said good bye

to Mr Carter, our principal,

with a special assembly.

He is going to work

in the Solomon Islands.

Mrs Fell made a special cake

for us all to share.
