In expedition this afternoon, we shared different thoughts about what we can do with beans. The children named various types of beans. We noticed beans can be different colours and shapes. Then we made some delicious beans on toast and discussed how beans are healthy for our bodies. We used our knife and fork skills to cut up the toast and before we ate “fork to stick and pick, knife to cut and scrape”. We of course tidied and cleaned up after ourselves! #LovePlover

How have our plants grown and changed?
We have had lots of discussion today around how our cress and beanstalk have grown. We discussed how they looked the same/different, and noticed both plants have leafs! Looking at the cress we couldnāt see the roots going down, but on both, we could see the shoots going up.

Colour mixing
Today we have been exploring colour mixing. We mixed yellow and blue together to create different shades of green, we then used the green we made, to paint leaves. We discussed how we can make the green paint darker/lighter, by adding more blue/yellow. Tomorrow we are going to practise cutting out our leaves, to create a collaborative beanstalk.

Creative Small World
A huge shout out to Ada, Koby, Eymen, Boston and Larah-Jean. It was lovely to see them construct, collaborate and share positive conversations with each other in provision to create their spectacular small world city. It included plants, trees, animals, towers, houses, airports, aeroplanes, farms, schools and roads! #LovePlover
Jack climbed the beanstalk
Sophia made Jack climbing the beanstalk. She used different skills and made the house for the beanstalk to grow out of. Well done Sophia. You showed amazing learning.

Drawing Flowers
As part of our final product children will be creating some beautiful art work for their wildflower seed packets. This afternoon we created a model and then the children practiced drawing their flower pictures! #LovePlover

What do plants need?
The children shared some great answers and recognised that we need to care for plants, putting seeds in soil, letting them have space to grow, exposure to air and water, sunlight and warmth. #LovePlover
Planting cress
Over the last two days we have been planting cress seeds. We drew faces onto our yogurt pots so that the cress can grow as hair. We are so excited to see how our cress will grow and change.

Parts of a Plant
Yesterday we looked at the different parts of a plant. We learnt how a plant grows from a seed into a seedling, then sprouts into a stem, grows leaves and the bud then opens to create the flower. #LovePlover
Creating a flower
We created flowers in different ways this morning, remembering the parts of the plant.
Some children created with blocks, some painting and some drawing.
Have a look at our creations.
