The weather started getting better in April so we spent more time outside learning about nature. We grew our own potatoes in cups in our classroom. It was a fun way to learn about the parts of plants and how they grow. We could see the roots, stems and new leaves growing.
When the potatoes got bigger we took them outside and planted them in our garden. We can't wait to watch them grow outside and maybe get to eat our homegrown potatoes this summer!
We also went to see the tulip festival here in Pohang. There were so many beautiful flowers in many different colors. We really enjoyed walking around the garden!
Our field trip in April was to a big park in Heunghae. We did a little hiking up the hill and saw a nice view of the park. We could run and play in the grass and we even did a nature scavenger hunt. We found pinecones, leaves, and spiderwebs in the park. We had a yummy picnic, too.
During April we learned about the Solar System. We studied all the planets in our part of the universe - we learned their names and special things about them. We also learned more about our planet Earth, and our sun and moon. It was so interesting to learn more about our place in the universe.
There were many birthdays in April. On the 9th we celebrated Andrew's 5th birthday! We all gave presents and wished him a happy birthday.
April 12th was Brian's 6th birthday, and we had a lot of fun celebrating with him.
And on the 29th, we had a party for Ian's 4th birthday. We exchanged presents and had some yummy cake.
