Today, Tautorians launched into our new inquiry about plants! We are beginning the 'I am exploring' and 'I am sorting and creating' part of the Worser Bay School Inquiry model.
We were each given a Little Garden League pot with seeds. We had to hunt for our buddies with the same vegetable or plant and tallied how many we had of each. Next, we might make some bar graphs to continue our statistics learning.
Then we got into the nitty, gritty planting stuff which included more Maths and some Science! We had to measure out how much water to add to the dried soil. It was fascinating to see the soil swell up as we added the water. So much great vocabulary and learning came out as the children observed the process like 'expand' and 'absorb'.
In the afternoon, we received a secret message from the Little Garden League! We had previously written applications to join the secret club so we were very excited to see they had sent us a message! We look forward to cracking more codes!
Make sure to continue to check out the blog and Seesaw to watch our little gardens grow and to hear about our learning.
