The Nature Table
Fri 05 Nov 2021The Nature Table in our reception area has been a great success this week. Children enjoyed learning about various root vegetables and fruit and they were encouraged to take part in answering questions such as: "Is growing our own vegetables and fruit better for the environment?", "Tell us what you have been growing at home? ", "What delicious meals can we make with them?" and "Can you name these root vegetables?" by writing the answers on a piece of paper and leaving it on the table for other children to read and broaden their knowledge about the natural world around them.
