Flowers and Plants

Flowers and Plants!

    It has been a busy week in the Banana's class exploring and learning all about flowers and plants! Take a look at everything we have been up to!

We started our week off by planting some grass seeds in soil and have learned the importance of water and sunlight for the grass to be able to grow. The friends have enjoyed checking on their grass each day to see if they notice any changes or anything growing!

In the dramatic play center, we continue to have fun engaging in play in our Supermarket. We have really enjoyed playing with the Flower shop that was added this week. The friends have learned all about making bouquets and flowers and have shared so many arrangements with their friends and teachers this week!

The friends explored play in the block center by finding creative ways to build with their flowers. Some of our friends built flower shops and other friends used the flowers and blocks to create their own flower gardens.

 

In the art center this week, the friends created different styles of flowers. One way we created flowers was by using shapes to design the flower. The other way we created our flowers was by using water color paint. Both styles of flowers were beautiful!

The friends used shapes and pictures to create flower designs in the table toys center this week. In science we explored the Flower Dyeing experiment where we placed four flowers in different cups of water and food coloring. Each day we observed our flowers and the changes that were happening. The children learned how important water is for flowers and how the stem carries the water from the roots up to the petals. 

We hope everyone has a great weekend!
