From a tiny Seed a plant will Grow.












Step one: putting the soil into the seed containers.














Step two: making sure our seeds are covered with soil, then giving them a drink with worm wees, from the worm farm.



The children at playgroup planted swan plants and sunflower seeds.
This interest has orginated from the children observing the monarch caterpillars
on the swan plant at the Tamatea playgroup. By engaging in their interest the co-ordinators have developed a life science focus that we are running over the next term, introducing new experiences that promote exploration using all their senses.




Keep an eye out for the giant sunflower contest that is taking place at your child's educarers environment. Through participating in this science experience they are also gaining mathmatical concepts with measuring the growth of their sunflowers.
