We put some soil into the tyres and pots ready for our plants. Then we put some worms in the soil. In the classroom we are going to start sowing some seeds and plant them later. Click here for more photos

First we went through the gate. And then we had a look at the strawberries that we put in and looked at the tyres with the potatoes. And then we planted some yellow flowers. And then we had to go. Good bye. By Hayden and Liam

Africa
We are learning about our environment. We are comparing our own environment with a place that is far away so we are looking at a village in Kenya, Africa. We have some interesting artefacts to look at that a parent brought in including a drum and a large dog-like creature!

Colchester Castle - March 2008

Hello, Class 2 here, we hope you will like our description about Colchester castle. On the 19th of March we went to Colchester castle. First we watched a video then did three activities.

Next we built a round house .. ... and then a temple.
After lunch we did activities round the museum (in-between we did things like trying roman helmets!)
We saw a slaves neck chain .. ... and some mosaics.

We were able to go down to the cellars (the only original Roman part of the castle)

Near the end of our wonderful trip we went on a story walk through arches in the building.

Once our story tour was over we had a few minutes to go in the dungeons and then we went on the coach home.
