Summative Week

This week wraps up our unit, Plentiful Plants! The children will be completing two activities that will showcase their understanding of the three lines of inquiry and concepts:

• Form: The features of plants in our local area
• Function: How animals/people use plants
• Responsibility: The needs of plants in our local area

In the first activity the children match the word of the plant part to the picture.

The second activity the children are creating a diorama of a forest scene. Today they painted the background and on another day they will add features they collected from the forest; leaves, twigs, pine cones etc.

They will also be given one plastic animal and one person to place in their diorama. Debbie will meet with each child individually and ask them to describe the different ways their animal and person is using the plants in their diorama, demonstrating their knowledge.
