Plant in a Mug…

Children enjoyed themselves planting their own plants in an old mug they got from home. Students placed some soil in the mug and planted a plant which comes from the cactus family.  They further discussed these type of plants and where they come from, what they need to grow and which other plants form part of this family.

After planting, all plants were placed on the classroom windowsill to decorate the class, while ensuring that the plants get enough sun light.

On 20th November 2013 the kinder 1.2 students of Ms Josianne Camilleri enjoyed the school garden, and outdoors, while learning about plants and the care needed when putting a plant in a pot.

The students learnt that plants need soil. Soil gives plants the necessary minerals which serve as food for the plant. The students also learnt about the importance of watering plants if they are to be kept alive.

Well done to all the students and their kindergarten assistant 😉
