Early Years Foundation Stage

This term, the Butterfly children have been exploring the fascinating world of plants and flowers as part of their “Roots and Shoots” topic. They’ve been busy planting seeds, observing how the flowers have been growing in our planting area outside, and learning about the different parts of a plant, such as the roots, stems, and leaves. The children have been making connections between what plants need to grow such as sunlight, water, and soil. They have also engaged in creative activities like making flowers with pipe cleaners and playdough, drawing plants and labelling the different parts, also discussing the life cycle of plants. It’s been a wonderful term full of discovery and growth!
