Edukidz pupils arrived at school on Spring Day with flowers in their hair and pinned on their shirts.
The smell of flowers permeated the air as the learners made their arrival at school. Excited learners soon compared flowers, with a couple of them even identifying their flowers by name!
Soon an interesting discussion of differences and similarities evolved. During discussion time, the little ones got to learn the different parts of the flower – from root to stem to leaves, and of course the flower itself with its petals.
The discussion in the classroom flowed through to the outdoors and the gardens in the area, as class by class walked around the neighbourhood.
New birth in nature was also a discussion point and this opened another door to practice animal sounds and the names of baby animals. The learners smelled a variety of flowers and soon discovered that they all smelled different, with some even being rather unpleasant.
The cacti garden at school is always a hit, as learners are fascinated by the prickles and thorns and bright colours.
Creative work on Spring Day is always enjoyed and the learners took extra care in completing their masterpieces.
As is customary at Edukidz, a special message is always sent home with the little ones… This Spring Day, it was “Love Nature” and together with that, a reminder to respect all life – whether human, animal or plant.
