Month: January 2025

As part of our Scrumdiddlyumptious topic, we are learning about all things food! Fairsnape
visited Morrisons to investigate fruits and vegetables and found out where they are imported
from. The children learnt that many of the fruits and vegetables that they eat everyday are
imported from other countries and learnt the reasons for this. We also made a list of fruits
and vegetables to try and bought these whilst at the supermarket. In groups, we had a go at
scanning the items and using our money skills that we learned last term to pay for the items.
Followed by a trip to the park.Once back at school, the children enjoyed trying lots of
different fruits and vegetables that they have not tried before like passionfruit, dates and
spinach.

Today, Nicky Nook went to a garden centre to explore plants, which is part of our science topic this term.

We also used this opportunity to purchase our own plants for our science experiment later in the term. When at the garden centre we discussed what plants need to survive to help us keep our plants alive and healthy throughout the term. Children were able to identify that plants need: water, oxygen, light and soil and the roles that each of these play.

Each group chose a plant that they wanted to look after back at school. We then complete a nature scavenger hunt before finishing at the park.

During the scavenger hunt, children thought about why some of the items may not be visible and they decided that this was because of the time of year and some things, like flowers, will only start to grow in the spring.
