We made clay fish!

2nd Class worked with clay today and made some gorgeous fish! Have a look below at some pictures of the children at work.

Here is the poem that we used to inspire the work:

I Went Fishing

I went fishing,
Took some bait.
Didn't go early,
Didn't go late.

Caught eight fishes,
To put in my pail.
Seven were mackerel,
But the eighth was a whale.

The seven were easy,
To put in the tin.
But the whale caused me trouble,
Before I packed him in!

Took my catch home,
What did Mother say?
"Get those eight fish out of here -
We're having steak today!!"

Bugs - a report by Matti

There are lots of bugs in the world: butterflies, moths and other insects. They fly, crawl, jump and slither everywhere with their little bodies that are quite strong for little creatures like bugs. Bugs like to eat plants like leaves, grass, flowers and more greens. Bees buzzing around your garden doing their daily business in the early sunshine of the morning. Grasshoppers hopping off in the tall grass for supper. Wasps wasping off in the middle of the night. Bug Olympics - the world's premier bug athletes gather every four years in gardens, ponds and rubbish heaps around the world for the...Bug Olympics! Fleas are the top little leapers. They can jump 100 times their own height!

Our First Swimming Trip!
