Plants

This week we are learning:

Circle Time Review
In circle time this week we will review
vocabulary from previous topics that is
appropriate to the topic of plants. For
example, we can use the 'clap clap' game
with fruits and vegetables and I will explain
that all fruits and vegetables come from
plants. We will also be using a plant based
warm-up activity every morning where the
students grow themselves slowly and in a
quiet, controlled manner from a 'seed' into a
'plant'.

Activity Time
Plants booklet identifying the different parts of a plant and what they do;
identifying different types of plant and how they differ.
Germinating, planting and growing mung beans over a 2-3 week period
children must water the plants and make sure they have enough sunlight to
grow.
Making paper flowers.
Plant Life song (based on Parklife by Blur).
Making plant displays and exploring the interactive plant board.
This week we will concentrate on the growth cycle of plants by hopefully
watching our own plants grow from seeds, and also watching time lapse videos
of different plants growing and explaining the process to the students. We will
also learn the specific vocabulary for the different parts of plants involved with
growth, and explain how plants use fruit and flowers to disperse their seeds so
that new plans can grow.
