Over the holidays the girls had the special responsibility of nurturing and caring for their very own bean. This somehow turned into a beanstalk growing competition, and we had to laugh when during the last week of term, some of the girls father's began theorizing about how they were going to support their daughters bean to grow the tallest!
The girls returned to school on Monday, bringing their bean plants as well as their 'bean diaries' which they recorded information in over the holidays, about their changing bean plant.
We were surprised to see the variation in the size of the plants and enjoyed the excitement shown by the girls as they contrasted and compared each others plant.
Here are some photos of our bean plants:
"I gave my bean plant kisses. That helped it to grow taller, it just loves my kisses so much!"
- Ria
"I singed songs to it...and the bean just kept on growing."
- Anika
"I watered it lots, each and every day."
- Isobella
"I put my bean stalk under the stairs by the window in a sunny spot!"
- Sophia
Ria truly kissed the plant each day and look how big it has grown!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see how all the other bean stalks have grown and great to see that none perished.
All the girls have done a wonderful job of caring for their individual plants. Well done!
Wow! What amazing gardeners you girls are. I'm not surprised the beans grew so big with all that love you gave them. I say the more kisses and songs the better!
