A Class Building Dens

We went out looking to see if we could any seeds or signs of fruit forming as we were learning about flowers and how they are germinated to form seeds. We also used hitches to tie sticks together to form our own dens. We tried to work as a team to build one big den, wow!

A Class Making Flower Chains and Singing 

Today we investigated flower parts. We tore some apart and identified each part, we then tested their strength by making chains. We are also learning to sing songs in two parts.
