🍓🥕 *FRUITS & VEGETABLES IN GRADE R* 🥦🍉
Over the past two weeks, our little learners have been exploring the colourful world of *fruits and vegetables*! 🌱
We learnt that some fruits and vegetables grow *above the ground*, while others grow *under the ground*, and that plants need *soil, water and sunlight* to grow. 🌞💧🌱
We also expanded our vocabulary by describing different tastes and textures. We learnt words such as *raw and cooked, crunchy and soft, sweet and bitter* and had lots of fun discussing which fruits and vegetables fitted into each category.
Of course, the best learning happens when little hands get involved! 🥰 For our Friday Fun Day activities, each child had the opportunity to safely cut and prepare a fruit or vegetable under supervision. Each group then worked together to make their very own fruit salad. 🍓🍌🍊🍇
This week, our original plan was to make vegetable soup, but thanks to our electricity outage, that idea did not quite materialise. 😂 We made do with what we had and turned it into a *raw veggie tasting experience* instead! 🥕🥒🫑
And the verdict? *Every single plate was clean!* 😍 Even the vegetables disappeared!
These practical activities are about so much more than food. Our little ones practised *fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, independence, following instructions, teamwork, measuring and sorting*, while also becoming more confident in exploring different foods and textures.
We are so proud of our little chefs! 👩🏽🍳👨🏽🍳❤️
Sometimes the simplest activities make for the very best learning… and the happiest little tummies! 🍉🥦🍓🥕
