Lots of sensory experiences at the playdough table whilst investigating blossoms and herbs. “It rains. You dig up. You put flower seed in. You pour water in. There you made flower.” “Leaves” “Roots!” “Mum and dad use red herbs.” “Mint, my mum told me.” “Butterfly eat flowers.”
The sunshine inspires nature-led conversations. “I see flowers, windy and wet.” “When rain drops, then sun, they grow.” “I have a balcony for plants.” “I’ve got a flower indoors and a shovel for digging.” “I like daffodils. They make me so happy I run.” “Butterflies fly high.”
We drew and painted plants. “I draw pictures of a mushroom and some leaves.” “I’m making a bigger picture for my friends to see, stem, leaves, flowers.” “The leaf is alive.” “A worm in my garden, wriggly, eating seeds.” “The frog hopped in the pond.” “The flowers smell yummy.”
