Another busy day in the nursery.\u00a0 Today we had great fun outdoors getting the garden ready for the winter months. The planters were tidied up and to our surprise our potato planter still had lots of potatoes hidden in the soil.\u00a0 The children were estimating how many potatoes there might be. The amount we harvest were phenomenal. Lots of counting, sorting, measuring and weighing went on.\u00a0 One child asked \u2018what are we going to use these potatoes for\u2019. This sparked off discussions about different types of potatoes and ideas of what we could do.\u00a0 It was decided we are going to roast them with butter and use the herbs we are growing in the garden. \u00a0We also had great fun measuring our sunflowers growing in the garden.\u00a0 \u2018This is bigger\u2019, \u2018I can\u2019t reach\u2019. Mathematical language and problem solving skills are developing. Quality group discussions went on among the children. The children all worked collaboratively. What a great day we had.<\/strong><\/p>\n
