We are Alfie and Oscar and we have been finding out about the tremendous, fun and exciting new discovery area.

Mrs Cooke answered our questions. Mrs Cooke explained that the plants were dying so she asked Ms Driver for some more. Instead Ms Driver said it could have not just new plants but new equipment too! There will be incredible new things like:

• a big gazebo
• an archway
• some wooden flower beds.

New gazebo

The gazebo is important because in Winter it gives shelter from the rain or snow, but in Summer it gives shade from the hot sun.

Flower beds

The builders were here for one week and two days but rain made it take 9 days altogether. Mrs Cooke said the new plants would be herbs to make pretend stews, evergreen shrubs to last all year round and flowers for insects. When it is finished it will also have a mud kitchen (for making potions), a bigger digging patch but all the other toys like the foam bricks and trikes will still be there.

We really think the little ones will love the new discovery area!
