As part of our summer term, we have been enjoying the topic of 'Growing and Changing'. We have been looking at growth and life cycles, working closely with plants and following the progress of beans becoming beanstalks!
We read 'Jasper's Beanstalk', learning about what we need to do to nurture a bean into a beanstalk. We carefully planted and watered our beans, watching them grow on our classroom window sill.
Over the weekend they grew so big, however, that we had to immediately transfer them into our new tyre gardening patches because they became all intertwined and started tangling up the windows like wild beanstalks!
We carefully transferred our potted beanstalks into the soil, digging little holes and then stringing the vines up the sticks to help them grow up towards the clouds just like 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.
We are now waiting to see what happens next, hopefully they keep growing and Foxy Loxy stays away from our lovely gardening project!
Following all of the beanstalk administration, we then planted and repotted the fiery chilli plant from Flynn's Nanny and planted that alongside our beanstalks. We are very excited to watch the chillies grow too! We are keen gardeners in Reception and we are enthusiastic to observe the changes that occur over time!
Watch this space!
