This week was our fire week and the children had made some decisions about the type of food they would like to cook. On the menu was spaghetti with sausages and pancakes with melted chocolate on top. We also wanted to pick some of strawberries to try as they were now ready and looked very yummy! We picked them, cleaned them and then decided to pop them on top of our chocolatey pancakes. They were delicious! Our allotment strawberries are definitely the best we have tasted.

As the day moved on, the sun got hotter and hotter and hotter until we were so hot we decided to look for some shade in the shed. We chatted about our bodies and what we need to do to protect ourselves from the sun. The children were able to give ideas such as, wear a sun hat, wear sun cream and drink lots of water. They were great answers but it was now beginning to get even hotter! We decided our plants and vegetables would need lots of water so switched on the hose pipe and gave them a really good drink. Beatrice enjoyed running through the shower of water which was watering the plants and began dancing as the water rained down on her. Her peers joined in and before we knew it everyone was soaking wet and cooling down in the bright sunshine. What a fun day!
