Green Fingers in the Nursery...

We had such a lot to do this week with our flower bed. The children dug up the daffodil bulbs, trimmed the leaves and carefully placed the bulbs in boxes so that they could be replanted in time for next spring. The children developed an understanding of the world around them, they were involved in conversations about roots and the purpose of them. Amelia said "They suck up the water". Iyinope said "They look like hairs".  The children talked about how the daffodils had previously looked. Lilly said "They had yellow flowers", many of the children were noticing the similarities and differences. Ife reflected about how the daffodils will look again. "They will grow tall and yellow" .

The children have asked to grow strawberry plants, we also have potatoes, tomatoes and a courgette plant. We look forward to doing some cooking with the produce. The children have already been talking about how they can care for the plants.  The children demonstrated resilience as they carried out the gardening, it was hard work but they persevered!
