Topic- Garden


This month (March) we are going to start the topic Garden. Children already have been exposed to this topic when we went to the kitchen Garden. Children saw flowers, carrots, cabbages, green peppers etc growing up.

The garden is a wonderful place to ask questions and satisfy kids’ natural curiosity by exploring questions like: What do worms do in a garden? Why do plants have roots and how do they work? Or, why do we have to water plants anyway?
                              
                     

Nothing happens overnight in a garden. Watching seeds grow and change, seeing the seasons pass, and tending to tiny seedlings will help kids gain patience and learn the rhythm of each day, season, and year.


                       
Our first activity with the children is to plant a seed this will improve every child’s fine motor skills. This activity is going to be done in a yoghurt cup and each child will have to take care of it by watering it. As the children will have to learn the importance of light and watering the plant to help her grow up!!!       
            
                       
Children through this topic will learn to Sort, count, and more. Sort different leaves, flowers by their pattern and color! They will learn to count same or different flowers from flash cards such as from small to big flower, and different type of leaves, Children may distinguish same and different, alive and not alive. It’s all basic math !

During this topic we will also talk about different insects we find
in the garden such as bees, spiders, ladybirds, caterpillars, snails
and butterflies, etc…
