We have had a very busy week in Nursery this week, the sunny weather prompting us to get outside and in the sunshine. The children were fascinated by the beanstalks brought in by Mrs Garden this week and were eager to help plant them into our gardening bed. We began by reading the story Jasper’s beanstalk and looking at some beans, we then compared the beans to the new beanstalks before planting them outdoors. The children were very aware that we needed to look after them by watering them, making sure they had lots of sunlight and not letting anyone pull them out of the soil!

Our learning about growth continued this week as we read out text map How to Plant a Seed. The children read the pictures and identified their meaning before having a go at following the instructions to plant their very own sunflower seed. We can’t wait to watch them grow.

Many of the children have told us about their gardens this week and the seeds they have to plant. Please send in photographs of your gardening at home.
