Reception’s Beanstalks!

The Reception children have had a busy week getting ready to plant their ever growing beanstalks outside. First we had to weeds the flower beds (again), then we had to construct a bean frame. Constructing a bean frame was no easy task and involved lots of teamwork and communication skills.

Finally we were able to plant our beanstalks outside. We are hoping they grow taller than us and we get to taste some home grown beans later in the year. The children love working in our flower beds, and it sparks some great observations of the world as well as conversations. The children demonstrated fantastic reciprocity as they worked together.
