KINDERGARTEN GARDEN, EATING AND COLORING EXPERIMENTS

During the last term we went on a field trip to an organic garden where we could see different types of plants, trees, flowers and fruits and veggies.

Kids were more than happy to try raw veggies coming from the ground:

so we couldn't think of anything better than a  garden project:

We introduced the topic with the adorable story TOPS AND BOTTOMS. and then discussed what food comes from tops or bottoms.
                                           

we made our own garden in the hallway discussing if the different food comes from the soil, plants or the ground:

We talked about what parts of the plants we eat: seeds, roots, stem, leaves or flowers and made an eating experiment:

                                 

A CELERY COLORING EXPERIMENT:
in order to understand how plants absorb water we did this simple experiment by placing celer stalks in colored water:

TAKING CARE OF OUR PLANTS and READING GAMES

Our plants have  really long hair so... it is time to cut their hair.

 

 

They look lovely with their haircuts

We have also been playing to fun reading games:

in the first one we read words using magnifying glasses. It was real fun

In the second game we had to throw two dice, read the word and crossed it out. If we landed in a square that had already been crossed out we lost one point and the person that crossed it out earned one point.

MORE AND MORE SEEDS AND PLANTS

Hello there:
After our last break before the end of the course i have lots of things to tell you.


I will start talking about our seeds and plants work:


Last week we read "Oh say can you seed?" by Dr. Seuss. It is an awesome book because as we are planting beans it shows us how they grow amazingly well.














we also talked about how plants can be useful for us and completed this simple activity:

We planted cat grass on plastic cups where we glued eyes, noses and mouths and now we have to wait to see it grow.   

                                              our garden is growing day by day .....








                HOW MUCH DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT SEEDS AND PLANTS
                      To finish talking about seeds and plants we took part in a contest:

kids had to choose among these 4 activities: what's my seed, how seeds grow, parts of a plant and how seeds travel.
If they got a right answer they would won a sticker.
