Our Little Van Goghs

We are exploring Sunflowers, corn and pumpkins this week. We are having fun comparing the different elements of these three product of nature. We are noting how they are the same and different; exploring their unique shapes; studying which pumpkin has more seeds the big or the small; learning what each of them needs to grow and planting seeds to watch them grow.

The children also expressed their artisic observation skills, by painting a vase of sunflowers.
Their artwork is stunning!

This is a song we learned about farming:

The farmer plants the seeds; the farmer plants the seeds,
Heigh ho the derry o the farmer plants the seeds.
The rain begins to fall; the rain begins to fall
Heigh ho the derry o, the rain begins to fall.
The sun begins to shine; the sun begins to shine,
Heigh ho the derry o, the sun begins to shine.
The roots begin to grow; the roots begin to grow,
Heigh ho the derry o, the roots begin to grow.
The stem begins to grow; the stem begins to grow,
Heigh ho the derry o, the stem begins to grow.
The plant gets bigger, the plant gets bigger,
Heigh ho the derry o, the plant gets bigger.
