We made the most of the beautiful weather this month. We walked to the Lookout and had our lessons in the sunshine. We sang "Row, Row your boat" and pretended we were sailors on the high seas
Our themes for April were Springtime and The Farm. We made our own flowers and planted them in our garden. We then took turns to pick the colourful flowers.
We became florists in class this month. We put flowers together in a colander to make pretty bouquets.
We did an experiment with some white flowers in the class. We put white flowers in cups, added food colouring to the water and put them on the shelf over the weekend. On Monday our flowers had changed colour! 
We made our own beautiful tall flowers for our classroom. We measured how tall each of us are and made our flowers the same height as us!
For our Springtime theme we made frogs for our colourful display
We had a few farmyard visitors to our class. We met a lovely horse, we got to milk a cow and became friends with a pig. We had great fun learning about the farm.
