Parts of a Plant (13th June)

Parts of a plant (13th June)


Maple group today reflected on their ideas from last week to make there own flowers
putting all the
different parts of a plant together.
The children all started off decorating their flower pot.
Dougie used his communicating skills to remind everyone “don't forget the
roots everyone”
There was some lovely colourful flower pots.




It was now time to get sticky!!
Fine motor skills are being developed as all the parts of the flower are being glued
together piece by piece.
~Pot
~Stem
~Leaves
~Petal
~Seeds
All of the children communicate their knowledge and ideas about plants to each other.
“The stem is next”
“I want three leaves”
“My fingers are so sticky”
“My flower has so many seeds”
“This is so much fun”




The children showing off their beautiful flowers


The children understand and express their ideas and information confidently and
creatively in more than one language so we are going to learn the names of these plant parts in Irish.
Plant: plandai
Leaf: duilleog
Stem: gas
Petal: peitil
Flower pot: proca blathanna
They also understand information in many ways and art is one of those ways children
learn about and express their knowledge.

Strong communication also works effectively and willingly in collaboration with
others and as you can see in these photos the children are doing just that.
