Children consider plants as life-supporting organisms, classify their parts and forms, and observe seasonal and textural variation. Planting, miniature-world construction, natural pattern-making, letter Kk, and number work keep the study practical and sensory.
What children learn
- Discuss how plants support life and help clean air and water.
- Classify plants and identify roots, leaves, flowers, seeds, and twigs.
- Observe how plants and trees change across seasons.
- Recognise and write Kk and create patterns with natural materials, shapes, and numbers.
Key activities
- Planting a seedling or seed in a pot or coconut shell
- Constructing a miniature forest in a sensory tray
- Sorting and classifying plant parts and plant-based items
- Making a seasonal plant picture from fresh and dry loose parts
- Recreating natural textures and patterns with leaves and petals
You’ll need
pots or coconut shells, seeds or saplings, soil and water, leaves and twigs, branches and pebbles, plant-part specimens, season cards, fresh and dry loose parts, paint and paper, letter Kk cards, number and shape cut-outs
