THE
Greedy goat! Mud, poo, potatoes.
HATTON Hatton Adventure world – it was an adventure to say the least. From being literally stuck in the mud, to feeding the cute guinea pigs a cabbage leaf. When we arrived we couldn’t wait to get stuck in! Straight off to the fields, where we picked our own potatoes and corn. The corn plants were extremely high up and close together. It was fascinating to see where our food actually comes from. Did you know that corn is produced on every continent of the world except Antarctica? Once we had finished in the muddy fields, we commanded Mr Flanagan to scrub our filthy, revolting, smelly boots. “When I got home I washed and peeled the potatoes I’d picked and made them into chips. I put the sweetcorn into the oven and it made a delicious tea,” said Lewis Thompson in 3V The soft play and feeding the animals was a major success. One of the funniest moments, after Joseph nearly losing his boot in the mud and Ibrahim B experiencing a guinea pig poo on him, was when the giant goat gobbled Mrs Comfort’s very important piece of paper! Ayanna wanted to go again the very next day! CHRISTMAS? It's too early to think about Christmas...but remember that the closing date for the design a Christmas Card Project is Monday 9th October. This year the children are completing their designs at home, using the A4 artwork template sheet given out by class teachers. Try and create a big, brightly coloured Christmas card design that fills the sheet, whilst keeping text and images 1cm from each edge. Some ideas for your card might be a snowman, Santa, a Christmas tree, presents or an angel. Christmas cards will cost £5 for a pack of 12 cards, with £1 of this going to the school. No money needs to be paid at this stage. Further information can be found at www.schoolchristmascardproject.org.uk
