The Shoe Box Appeal
We did the shoe box this October .We got lots of shoe boxes from moms and dads and from people across our community . The shoe box was fun to do and it made us feel very happy when the boxes were given to children in Romania. Thanks to Michaela and Vicky for looking after our boxes

The Incredible Edibles
Third to sixth participated in “The Incredible Edibles” We grew potatoes, turnips, carrots, lettuce and cabbage. We worked in groups of three. We planted the cabbage turnips and lettuce in bio degradable pots. The carrots outside and the potatoes in a potato bag. Some were successful but others weren't.
We all know that we should eat our greens, finish our fruit and get our five-a-day!
