Playground mess!

On Thursday the 8th of November, a lady called Louise came in from an adventure playground in Edinburgh with a whole lot of dressing up stuff. She also brought some tarpaulin and some tyres. Louise put all the stuff in the middle of the playground and told us to do whatever we could think of with them. A lot of people went to the dressing up clothes and started to play with them. Even Sam joined in the dressing up fun by donning a cape to become “Supertramp”!

People sat on tyres and Jan-hendrik took this a step further by creating a wheelbarrow out of a tyre and some red pipes. Another use for the tyres was to pile the tyres up around them like this:

  

Some people even managed to roll the tyres into a big muddy puddle and started to walk across them. This idea didn’t go without accident, however, because Jan-Hendrik and Aneas both got a bit muddy! Louise has left the tyres and we still play with them occaisionally.

Ways to store potatoes

Yesterday we looked at some potatoes that we had grown and thought of ways to store them.

Were doing this because we are doing a project about highland clearances and wanted to find out about Blight. 

We thought of lots  of ways to store them.

Here are some ways:

box in cupboard with paper

water on shelf

soil out side

sawdust in a box in cupboard

on top of soil outside

box in cupboard

window sill in light

sand in cupboard

I would use  the sand in the cupboard.

The Little Box of Big Ideas

The box is used by all of the children to stimulate their creativity and generate ideas.

There are loads of great stories and poems to post here which they’ve done over the last few months.  For now, have a look at what they think of the box…
