Hi Cooper families,
We have had a very busy week in the Cooper room this week. We started off our
week getting down and dirty in the garden. Following on from the children’s
keen interest last week with the ginormous broad beans plants that have
sprouted in our garden, we decided to pick some beans and use the seeds inside
to replant in our classroom. The children decided that we needed the following
things to best support our plants to thrive in our classroom.
Poppy- We put the
seed in the dirt and then they grow.
Lucy – We need some
water.
We have been
eagerly observing our seeds each day to see if the seeds have started to
sprout. We have had no such luck yet, but we are hopeful that we will see
changes in the next week.
The children have
absolutely loved observing our new class pets, our silkworms, over the week. It
when they watch the silkworms, that they are using their senses to gather and
form new knowledge about the lifecycle of these very interesting creepy
crawlies.
Nash – They are
called silkworms
Archie – Silkworms
Nash – One is
eating a leaf
Archie – If they go
out of our classroom then we will put them back in
Lucy – They eat the
leaves
Poppy – We got the
leaves from outside
Eddie S – They have
a sleep sometimes
Lucy – They do poos
Oliver C – They
eat all leaves
Toby – They slither.
George – They get
bigger and bigger
Lucy – They are
different sizes. Not the same
Angus – I picked up
a big one
Nash – One is
having a piggy back
Ollie F – Look at
the tiny one just there
Angus – Look at the
big one
Nash – We need to
be gentle
Ollie F – They are
very slow
Nash – They have a
little home in there
The Cooper room
have taken fantastic care over the last week to collect leaves from our
Mulberry tree for the silkworms to eat and clean their enclosure so that they
have a nice place to live. We are very proud of the way that they are looking
after our pets.
We hope that you have a fantastic weekend.
Love Miss Gilbert and Miss
C
