Primary 3 (Term 1, 2nd Post): The Sunflower Flops - More Photos of our "Gardeners" at work!




Primary 3 (Term 1, 1st Post): The Sunflower That Went Flops

Based on the unit "The Sunflower Flops", we have decided to give our primary 3 pupils a taste of what is like to look after plants and the opportunity to witness growth right in their classroom!

The pupils were given the opportunity to plant kidney beans in class. They were given the materials needed to plant the beans. As a group, the pupils need to water the beans every day and observe the changes. They noted down their observation and the different stages of the kidney beans. They had a fun time taking care of their beans and at the same time watch them grow into an adult plant.

"Let's put in the beans carefully"
 
"Wow! Look at that!"
Writing down their observation
"Look, the roots!"

After making their observations, pupils did a group writing about their experience. Thereafter, they give a class presentation.
