This week, we continued to explore living things. We enjoyed going to the farm to make observations and are going to make a shared big book about our Unit of Inquiry. The children made great observations. We will have to do more research to find out what some of the animals are. We also learnt how to give the grass nicely to the goats without teasing them.

We saw dead fish … and then: a few children saw the turtle under the bridge.The waterfall. Careful don’t step on the baby palm tree. Banana trees.
