James' bean seed and seed collection

The seeds are a bean, radishes, sweet peas, carrots, beetroot and lettuces. Dad accidentally watered them too much, but hopefully they will be alright!
There is damp cotton wool in the jar with a red bean seed.

Pancake Tortoise

The pancake tortoise lives on the eastern side of Africa. It is approximately 14-17cm long. It is not only very flat (like a pancake), but it is also very flexible, which means it can wedge into little gaps to keep safe from predators. In the summer it crawls under flat stones to keep cool. The females usually lay a few eggs each breeding season.

James' Safe Meeting Place

Our meeting place, in the event of a fire, is on the tennis court, but if it is a really big fire, we would go down the drive once we were all together.

One idea to support a Chess Club

A Chess Club would be a great opportunity for us to play with children from other classrooms and get to know them.

FIRE WISE

We try to be fire-wise in our house, by doing the following things:
1. Hang smoke alarms in the house, and check them regularly.

2. No running in the kitchen while there is a hot pan on the stove top that could fall.

3. Make sure pot handles are not poking outwards when on the element.

4.Always keep the fire guard around the fire.

5. Don't have paper or clothes too close to the fireplace.

6. Don't play too close to the fire, in case you trip.

7. Keep matches up high so babies can't reach them, and never play with matches.

8. Don't hang clothes over heaters.

9. Turn oven, heaters and other electrical equipment off when you're not using them, and when you go out.

10. Never hold a candle near curtains.

11. Watch small children around fires and heaters.

12. If you use the ashes on your garden, don't take them out of the fire and leave them in the bucket - throw them straight on the garden.

13. Store petrol for the lawnmower safely.
