10.11.17  In Maths and for writing we are learning about explanations and direction and distance.  Today we tried to give directions to the girls and boys toilets from the tables in our classroom. We failed, the boys finished in the classroom and the girls finished at the doorway.  We would try it differently next time, by taking more turns. And we missed out parts because we started in the wrong place. We could also walk and write while we do the walking. Or we could look at a map or draw a map.

20.10.2017 Our class put water on the plants. We were watering and planting strawberries and flowers and pumpkins with room 2. we did planting because it was conservation week. We are going to eat them when they are ready. Or we are going to make jam with the strawberries. We worked very hard on it. We found worms and spiders. We watered the plants in the little garden. We used cups and buckets to water the strawberry plants.  We watered at the park. We were digging the dirt to make a hole, to put the plants in.
