We've been busy planting up in the Y1 Garden Centre. So far we've got giant sunflowers (for our grow the biggest competition), fluffy sunflowers called Teddy Bear (we can't wait to see how those flowers look), carrots, tomatoes, marigolds, asters and cosmos growing...
WOW, BUSY BEES!

Y1's Victorian Day
May 2019
We had great fun, dressed up as Victorian servants, learning about how hard life was 'downstairs'. We had to polish, wash, wring, iron, fold, brush up, make the fires, carry the wine, heat up the beds...we're EXHAUSTED!
Victorian children for the day...
It was such good fun and so interesting to find out what our lives would have been like as poor Victorian children. We loved playing with our homemade Victorian toys and we felt just like we had travelled back in time in our Victorian outfits!

Windmill Farm September 2018
We went to Windmill Farm on a coach. First we had a snack. I had a fruit shoot bar and then we fed the animals with the lady farmer. I liked the goats because they licked my hand. It was soft and slobbery. Next we went on a train ride and it was fun. SHAE
