Edukidz pupils arrived at school on Spring Day with flowers in their hair and pinned to their shirts.
The smell of flowers permeated the air as the learners arrived at school.
The excited children soon compared flowers, with a couple of them even identifying their flowers by name! Soon, an interesting discussion of differences and similarities ensued.
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 of this species.
Creative work on Spring Day is always enjoyed and the ‘spring chickens’ took extra care in completing their flower baskets, which were proudly taken home.
A big thanks to Livingston Lawnmowers for having made the flower baskets possible.
