Bean sprouts

On Friday we did a science experiment, which was simply to put bean seeds in a jar with a paper towel and water, so that hopefully they will germinate. Then we had to make nature diaries. I had already bought two reporters notebooks, so in school today we covered them nicely, sticking a piece of coloured paper over the front and then decorating them with feathers, foam animal and plant shapes and stickers. The boys are very proud of them. Those diaries will be to report on the things that we do in science. Today’s entry, which I had to write, simply said “put seeds in jar”, and then the boys drew a picture. Today after lunch, Caleb noticed that the seeds we ‘planted’ on Friday have grown shoots. He was nearly beside himself with excitement, so I suggested we write in his nature diary which he was very pleased to do. He was well satisfied that they had germinated.

Reepicheep is back to his normal self today. We are grateful to God for sparing his little life!
