Flat Stanley returns

A surprise package arrived in our classroom this week.
Flat Stanley flew by Airmail safely back from his extended trip to the USA!
Mrs Armstrong and her class from the Calvert school in Baltimore, Maryland looked after Stanley and his new English friend James from Coventry, UK.



We were really excited to see so many special things in one box!
Thank you Mrs Armstrong and children at Calvert school.

Grade 2 "Garden" and Plants

Dear weblog (blog) followers,
This the first time that the Grade 2 students have started writing blog comments themselves. We hope that this will help give the children more ownership over what goes on their blog!
From the Grade 2 bloggers.


We are painting a wonderful painting of the garden!!!
It is in the group room.
Everybody has to do a whole square of the painting!


We are learning   about a special theme   that is called plants.
Our teacher is planting his own plants.
We are trying our own experiments.




 Our theme is making us fun!

THE END.    By TERESA and FABIAN
