How we stay fit

This week’s topic in Russell Robins was Staying Fit. 

We have certainly been busy bees… or should that be busy Robins! On Monday, we made the most of the wet weather by changing into our wellies to explore the grounds. Lots of fun was had splashing in muddy puddles. Afterwards, we chased bubbles around the school field and then stopped to see the sheep.

The children have been very active and they liked collecting apples from the tree on the Paddock. I used my special apple grabber to safely remove them from the branches and once I had picked enough, the Robins collected them all from the grass. I must say, they waited very patiently until they were instructed to gather them up.

Our cooking activities consisted of banana cake, apple and cinnamon cake, bread rolls and vegetable soup. It was great to see the children chop a variety of vegetables to make a fit and healthy soup. They have mastered the use of knives and they remembered to hold and support the vegetables with one hand and chop using the other hand. Well done, Robins!
