Getting Taller

We have been learning about measurement in maths so Mariposa and Alexandra were able to use their new skills to measure the corn as it gets taller.

Watching Our Corn Growing

Last week at Makerspace the children planted corn seeds.  They have been anxiously watching to see if the seeds have germinated and begun to grow.  On Thursday when they arrived at school and checked the containers they found three tiny shoots then on Friday there was one more shoot.  It is exciting watching the tiny plants getting bigger.

Alexandra has been keeping an eye on the corn seedlings

The seedlings are beginning to grow.

Room 16's Lunch Box Hero

Maria has been bringing a healthy lunch to school and so her name went into the draw to be a lunch box hero.  She was lucky to be one of the 10 children to have her name drawn out and she chose the box of strawberries.  Enjoy the lovely fruit Maria.
