Spring This weeks joke is from Alvira Repia-King Rm 5 Vegetables Growing your own vegetables is easy and fun. Kids are often more willing to eat vegies if they’ve grown them themselves. Just a few recyclable containers will help to get you started. Cut the top off a plastic milk bottle and it becomes a pot. Recyclable containers that make great plant pots are: Tin cans, milk bottles, buckets, yogurt pottles Make some drainage holes in the bottom, place some small stones over the holes, fill with rich soil ready to plant!

Assembly tomorrow At this stage it is looking like it will be fine for assembly. It will be held on the court outside the hall as long as it stays fine. The reason for this is that the hall is currently being used as a classroom due to the building works that are ongoing. Wear Blue Day Today is wear blue day to support those with diabetes.
