This week we have been exploring the text 'Once there was a seed'. In the story it explains the concept of having Green Fingers, someone who is good at making things grow.
I thought I would get onto planting some Cress seeds with the learners of Autahi this week and see if we had the Green Fingers to get them growing. Turns out that my fingers aren't so green yet.
For a week we watered the paper towels we had spread the seeds on and waited patiently for them to start to grow.
And each day we waited...
and waited....
and waited.....
But we didn't give up. We did some more finding out and found the cling film method to create a mini greenhouse for the seeds and overnight we started to see some growth.
Finally our fingers were becoming green!
While we wait for our Cress to grow we have also been exploring what plants need to grow.
And writing about the process of growing a seed into a plant
and finally how our seeds are progressing
Finally this week we went and explored our local environment to find some adjectives to use to describe our local flowers as well as practice our sketching skills.
Sometimes the wait can be well worth it, especially when we face something challenging.
