Mrs Reid's crazy bunch...

Spring time magic

We have planted some beans and tomatoes in our

 pots and are going to look after them and help

them to grow. We have also planted some bean

seeds in a plastic bag that Mrs Reid stuck to the

window. We will be able to watch what happens

to a seed when it begins to grow and see all the

changes that take it from a seed to a plant.

Shakeout Drill in Room 22

We have just completed taking part in the nation wide earthquake drill. At 9.15am we all heard Mrs Reid call drop and we went into action. We all know to Drop to the floor, Cover our neck and head and Hold onto the nearest table leg. We also know that we need to become turtles and keep our body in around us as close as possible to prevent injuries from happening. We also know to keep away from windows and walls that could fall and if we need to move we have to crawl as walking may be too difficult.

Mouldy mould

This week we read a story about Alexander Flemming. He was a researcher and in 1928 he discovered Penicillin after he noticed mould growing in a petri dish. We wondered what might grow on bread if we left it long enough. We had 3 slices and put one in a bag without touching it (our control slice), we all touched a slice with dirty hands and finally we all touched a slice with clean hands. We are going to watch carefully over the next few days and weeks. We will keep you posted as to what things grow from the germs on our hands....
