Polar Bear Club week 6

Most students from Room 3 and Room 5 joined the Polar Bear Club on Friday.  The new solar panels mean the water in the swimming pool is warmer than other years.  After our swim, Polar Bear Cubs rated how they had found the water temperature and most people found it warm(ish) using a scale of 1 to 10.

Here is the chart showing how we rated water temperature.

Cheeky Chicks chase children (no, not really!)

Lavendar, Rocket and Marjoram came to visit  us in Room 3.

Jacob showed us the correct way to pick and hold Lavendar.

Chicks felt warm and safe tucked underneath Josiah's arm!

Oh! Oh!  Chicks off the newspaper - could this cause a problem?
