Exploring at the Garden Centre

This morning we went to the garden centre in Great Gaddesden to further our learning on plants and growing. We walked down sensibly in our groups and looked at our challenge sheet. We had to use our iPad to take a photo of: a yellow flower, someone in our group smelling something and something bigger than us. We also had to find as many things as we could beginning with 's'. We had to take photos of them and write them down - we found lots! Some of the 's' things were found were sunflowers, sand, soil, stones, sticks, statues, seeds, strawberries, sage and scarecrows.

We also took some money from our Foundation Fund to buy some things. We bought some bird food so birds can come into our outside area to eat - we'll have to get our binoculars and our birdspotter handbooks ready! We also bought some seeds to plant and some flowers to put in our pots outside. We had to look at how much money we had and work out how much it would cost to buy the things we wanted so we knew if we could afford them or not.

We had a great morning and enjoyed finding out about lots of different things. When we got back to school we were busy turning our role play into a garden centre! Thank you to all the parents who came to help this morning - we really appreciate you taking the time to help us with trips like this.
