Today we explored the idea of wild flowers versus garden flowers and we looked at images of grape hyacinth and bluebells. After some discussion it became clear that these two flowers are sometimes found growing in the wild and sometimes they're found growing in gardens.
I introduced the children to a story about a little girl who loves picking flowers to decorate her house but has been warned not to go too far into the forest where the Gunniwolf lives. The children listened intently expressing the feelings this story evoked in them - "Super scary!"
I've included the link to the story of the Gunnywolf
At the end of the story the little girl escapes from the Gunnywolf while he lay sleeping.
What do you think he'd say when he woke up and saw the little girl gone?
"Where's my lunch!" - Billy
"Where's the little girl?" - Raleigh
"You cannot sing that song!" Elaine
The children drew scene pictures of the story, you can see how some have included details
from the story and some gave a try at drawing grape hyacinths!
