"A man doesn't plant a tree for himself. He plants it for posterity." - Alexander Smith
Plants are amazing and versatile organisms that impact our everyday lives. The fact is plants provide us with oxygen, food, clean water, energy, and more. They are also useful in their environmental conservation roles and even offer keys to solving issues such as world hunger and climate change! It is important to educate young children about plants in order for them to understand their importance as well. Students of Pre Primary learnt about the germination process, the life cycle of a plant along with parts of a plant. They also discussed what plants give us other than fruits and vegetables.
Making a real life connection was easy and students engaged in animated discussions sharing their favourite fruits and vegetables. They engaged in various activities that combined creativity with learning about nature in a fun, engaging way. The activities also fostered curiosity about nature and reinforced basic biology concepts. It also helped develop fine motor skills and encouraged interactive learning.
