There is a lot of nature in Class 2o and since we are studying plants it isn't very surprising!
Many of the Class 2o students took up Mrs Horsford's challenge of doing some homework which involved finding 5 different leaves. They brought in wonderful posters, booklets, plants, seeds and seed cases.
After the children had had the opportunity to look closely at the insides of a range of fruits and vegetables at Le Potager, I decided to bring in some familiar and less familiar fruits, and cut them in half to see the cross-section. Some children had not seen a papaya or a pomegranate before and were amazed to see how much more beautiful the inside was than the outside. They used oil pastels to make some amazing observational drawings, which are now brightening up our classroom.
