Mary, Mary Quite Contrary!

We have been singing this traditional rhyme, and thinking about what the children know already about 'growing' . . .

Here are just a few of their ideas:

Arlo - "You can get some water and tip it on the tree and the tomatoes grow."

Jenson - "You put a seed into a hole and then it will grow into a strawberry plant. You need to water it."

Zak - "When you put the seed in it makes it grow into a carrot."

Arlana - "The flowers grow in the garden with water. Butterflies smell them."

Sam - "You can grow a beanstalk. You give them some water - it will grow bigger."

William - "My grass grows in my garden. The sunshine lets it grow, and water."

We are going to incorporate all of these ideas into our new garden display board!
