Hi First Class,
Hope you are all keeping well and have been able to do some work over the past week. I miss seeing you each day. I brought home our class bud race and will get a picture up on the website soon for you. Look at all the new buds opening on trees and signs of Spring when out walking. I have been watching out for our hedgehog to come out of hibernation, but he seems to be still sleeping. This week I will be planting all your potatoes they have lots of sprouts on them so we should get lots of potatoes- watch out for a picture soon.
