We have been learning all about what plants need to grow.
As it is the final week of our 'Let it Grow' topic, we will be revisiting all of our previous big idea questions to see if the children can remember all the things we have found out about!
This will include talking about:
What do plants need to grow? Plants need water, sunlight and nutrients to grow.
Where does fruit grow? Fruit grows on bushes, trees and vines.
What vegetables grow underground? Some vegetables grow underground such as carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips and onions. We call these root vegetables.
How do trees change? Trees and leaves can look different in different seasons/weather.
What do worms do? Worms dig tunnels underground, they eat and poo which gives the soil nutrients and helps plants to grow.
See if the children can answer any of these questions at home!
We will also be discovering who Vincent van Gogh is and looking at some of his famous paintings and using them to inspire our own creations. We will be looking at flowers, learning the names of some flowers and having a go at being an artist painting flowers!
Here are the great text's that we will be sharing:
This week we are exploring the big idea question:
How do trees change?
We will be talking about trees and looking at how they change throughout the year, comparing photographs from different seasons. We will also be collecting leaves and exploring the different colours and the different shapes. We will be learning that wood comes from trees and all the different things we might use wood for at school and in our homes.
Here are the brilliant stories that we will be sharing with the children:
Watch Auntie Mabel find out where wood comes from!
Thank you for your continued support 😊
This week we are focusing on our big idea question's:
Where does fruit grow?
Why are fruits and vegetables good for us?
We will be finding out that fruits contain seeds and investigating this in the classroom by cutting into different fruits and vegetables. We will be talking about how fruit grows on trees, bushes and vines and revisiting what plants need to grow. We will also be tasting different fruits and describing how they taste as well as creating our own fruit kebabs (using great fine motor skills to chop and slice).
We will talk about how we stay fit and healthy, keeping active and eating lots of fruit and vegetables because they contain lots of vitamins and minerals.
The great stories we will be sharing with the children this week:
Anything fruit, vegetable or growing related! We love seeing what you get up to on tapestry and the children love sharing photos with their friends in school.
