With the fall season upon us and our trip to the Pumpkin Patch fast approaching we have been exploring pumpkins. Pumpkins were placed in our sensory bin where students were able to explore them. We had two pumpkins to compare and contrast. An orange pumpkin and a boo pumpkin (white). After exploration we came up with a list of adjectives to describe our pumpkins and counted all of the seeds. There were 416 in the orange pumpkin and 314 in the boo pumpkin. That's a lot of counting! We have opened up various centres to expand on our learning. One of the centres children our able to weigh, and measure both pumpkin seeds and pumpkins, gourds and squash. They have been using measuring tapes, cubes and a scale to describe height, width and weight. Students have also been learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin, for our preparation for the pumpkin patch. Stay tuned for more on going learning... |
