Spring Planting

We have been learning about the topics of Spring and planting in SESE over the past few weeks.
We planted some mangetout seeds and we're looking forward to tasting the pods when they grow.
First, we sprouted the seeds in a plastic bag in a warm, dark place. We tried the cupboards in school but this didn't work so the teacher took the seeds home and placed them in the hot press. This worked and we planted the sprouted seeds in degradable pots. We made sure to water them carefully and placed them in sunlight. As an experiment, we are not watering one pot and we are keeping another pot in a dark cupboard. We predicted that these pots will not grow!

This is a photo of us mixing together soil and compost for the pots.

In group work our general topic has been Spring and gardening. We set up a Garden Centre in the role play area and we took turns as gardeners, customers, managers, cashiers and even as flowers.

We made some beautiful garden centres in construction.
