Our School Garden

 We went down to the garden.  We saw orange trees, mandarin trees and parsley.

We saw flowers and we saw bees.

We went into a shed.  It was warm.  We think it is warm to help the plants grow.

Our Recycling Centre

We went to the worm farm and recycling shed.

We saw rubbish.

We saw things in the wrong rubbish bins.

It was stinky.  There were 2 stinky bins.

There was cardboard, paper and apples in the worm farm.

There was plastic in one of the bins.

4 shoes

1 dress

 1 jumper

19 pieces of plastic

1 apple

1 drink can

Tools and Toys

We are learning to be Firewise.
We are learning about tools and toys.

We sorted pictures into 2 groups. 
We had to say if it was a tool or a toy.

Toys are things we can play with and are fun.
