Golfing and Growing!

Today we have taken advantage of the better weather!  We had our second, and last, session of Club Golf today.  We were learning about putting and chipping.  As it was so nice we did some of our putting outside!  We had to make sure our feet were in the right position before hitting the ball – we know to take a step back then out to the side.  We had to try and score points but putting the ball onto a sticky score board.  It was great fun!  There is an open day at the Stromness Golf Club this Saturday 2^nd May – it is free to go along and get a taste of golfing!  They even have some clubs for you to practice with!

Finally this afternoon we planted some seeds in the raised bed outside our classroom.  We planted Poppy, Vetch and Butterfly Mix seeds.  We are hoping that these will attract butterflies and bees.  We are going to hatch some butterflies in our classroom so decided we needed to provide them with a habitat of wild flowers to attract them back!  We turned the soil and added some compost to it.  Then we sprinkled the seeds and watered it to help the seeds to grow.  We have also planted some in small pots in our classroom and will plant them when the seedlings are a bit bigger.
