The theme this week at The Children’s House is farming, so we will be learning all about different aspects of growing & harvesting food, as well as linking in to the sense of smell! The children will be looking at the inside of different fruits & vegetables such as butternut squash, peppers, tomatoes, oranges & apples and will take the seeds out of them to plant. Later in the week, as well as celebrating the start of the new month March, we will be cutting up different herbs like basil, coriander, sage & thyme & discussing the different smells they have! Then to finish the week, the children will be doing a harvesting activity using different grain crops, & looking at where things like wool & milk come from.

Living on the Farm (poem)

The cows are in the meadow, the horse in the barn,
The hen’s in the henhouse, all living on the farm.
The cows give milk that we can drink,
To make us grow up strong,
The hens lay eggs for us to eat, on the farm where they belong!
