The Toddler class have been doing lots of exploring over the last few weeks related to gardens! Take a look at all the photos of us in action.
All toddlers have had an opportunity to test their ‘green thumbs’ when we planted sunflower seeds, corn, avocado or beans. Most have survived the added sand and early pickings!
We also went on a ‘bug hunt’ around school and found several creatures, which we brought back to class in our specimen jars. Several children have brought in real creatures and toy ones, which are being enjoyed in our classroom garden. Our favourite seems to be the moth! It has been wonderful to see the children being risk takers and having the confidence to gentle touch many of the bugs.
Within this topic, as the children closely examine everything with all their senses, they are being introduced to, and are using, a variety of vocabulary such as petals, leaves, wings and antennae.
We encourage you to explore your garden at home – what will you find?
