This week we have been working with some glorious,beautiful seed heads from Mrs McGill’s garden . They are beautiful structures and the Pioneers worked with delicate fingers extracting the seeds. The were almost silent as they discovered the various textures and patterns in the sunflower seed head. We looked at the beautiful book,” A Seed is Sleepy” and watched some timelapse video to complete the cycle.
We shall plant these seeds in the summer.
Our Pumpkin Patch has grown thanks to donations from family and friends. The interest has been huge. The discussions about texture and the changes we have been observing have been fascinating. Finding words to describe mould has become a favourite this week. Lots of children have got stuck in with their fingers and with the tweezers and have been very excited about what they can see. We also have fungus and a variety of rotting apples from the tree.
The decomposition is being charted daily.
Come in and have a look at it for yourself.
