Easter at Paraixal

Hi there! Rachel came to Paraixal to help us dying eggs.
First we boiled the eggs at home and we brought them to school. We put some food coloring and a teaspoon of vinegar into some hot water. We left the eggs for some minutes and then we let them dry.
After that the Easter Bunny came and hid the eggs. We had an egg hunting and an egg roll race.
That was fun!!!

Five senses

Rachel visited us on Tuesday to teach us about the five senses.
We had a great time learning something new! Thanks again!
