This week in Reception 1, we learned about planting and growing. The Tigers learned about the parts of a plant, from the roots to the flower. All of us planted seeds with Ms. Krisztina and Mr. Bernard, and we can already watch them grow! We also made plant pictures, and we created plants with shapes. The Tigers learned what 5 things a plant needs to grow (soil, water, light, air and space). Horses worked on the letter E, and everyone learned more about the letter P.
