Have you seen our vegetable plots??? Make sure you check them out as the afternoon group have spent this week preparing, planting and watering the garden in anticipation that we will be able to harvest our very own kindergarten vegetables within the next term....
The children assisted as we worked the soil, made some holes and planted Carrot seeds, Radish seeds and Mesclun salad mix into the first planter.
Wednesday came along and it was time to plant the seedlings, Broccoli, Lettuce and Silverbeet. Yummo!! We will have to keep an eye on Sting as I'm sure he will try to grab a nibble on his travels!!
A group of children also chose to plant their own radish seeds to take home and watch the process of seed cultivation at home...There are still some at Kindergarten, did your child make one?? Check them out on the kitchen counter on Monday and take your one home, cheers!!
What a great opportunity to learn alongside our peers. Some children could also share with the group some of the vegetables that had been planted at their house recently...Awesome!! Joshua Munro shared that he had planted lots of vegetables but he was most excited about the Strawberries!! Guess what Josh, we have Strawberries growing at Kindergarten too. I wonder which ones will be ready first??
If you have a vegetable garden at home, we would love to see photos...another great way to promote discussion amongst the group. And for our families that have some kindergarten radish seed at home, we would LOVE if you could document the process through photos and stories and send them through to us....just a small challenge :)
Cheers guys,
Judy, Kylie and Christina
