Mrs. Newell brought some turf from the bog in to school to show us. We talked about using turf in the fires in our chimneys to keep us warm, and we talked about where turf comes from. This turf came from a bog, and is made up of rottted trees, leaves, grasses and mud. When it is dried it burns well and a turf fire smells really nice. We each had a look at the turf, and we tried holding it and smelling it.

Wonderful to see your learning experiences documented like this. We have viewed your work as a class in Hamilton, New Zealand today, across the other side of the world! We discussed 'bog' although its not something that we have in New Zealand!
