Our First Assignments

Last week our first assignments arrived from Hogwarts.  It sure seems like Owl Mail is soooo slow!  It's very hard to wait for those Owl Posts to arrive!

The first assignment was from Dumbledore.  He told us about the most famous wizard of all - Merlin.  Merlin taught knights all about knightly duty and honor.  He created a Knight's Creed for them to memorize and meditate on.  Dumbledore passed on the Knight's Code to us, as wizards are and were the Knights of the Magical Realm.  We were to copy it four times and then send our best copy back to him.  Once we did this we would earn one house point.  If we could memorize it, we would earn 5 house points!

The second assignment came from Professor Sprout.  She told us that she had heard that we had put in a huge garden and was very pleased about it.  She asked us to go and pick one plant in the garden to take care of.  We should put a ribbon around it in the color of our House.  Then she sent us a Herbology Notebook.  In it we are to measure our plant every week on Tuesday.  We should also write down what it looks like, whether it has flowers or fruit, if it changed from last week and other ineteresting things about it.  Thing #1 chose a tomato plant, Thing #2 chose a strawberry plant, Thing #3 chose a sunflower and Thing #4 chose a bean plant.  We're looking forward to seeing how they grow and change over the summer!
