During the past
few weeks, the children have been learning about the natural
environment which includes gardens, the natural environment and how
to grow fruits and vegetables. At Tiny Scholars childcare ryde;
we believe it's of high importance that children have the knowledge
about where our fruits and vegetables come from and how they are a
healthy part of our diet.
We would like to
encourage parents and families to try and grow their own veggie patch
at home to continue the children's learning. If you do it over the
weekend, please take photos and bring them in for us to share.
Gardening helps children develop language through discussions about
what to plant, where to plant, and what kinds of insects are roaming
in the garden.
Gardening also
stimulates cognitive growth and science processing skills. Children
develop observation skills as they see what is growing. They learn to
compare and classify as they observe similarities and differences in
seeds, plants, flowers and insects.
