Gardening

[Guest]

I did a gardening activity with the children and need to do an evaluation.

I am looking for a web site that talks about children and gardening.

Hi

 

Dont know a website but all ELGs can be covered by that...

Maths how many flowers/seeds planted or grew

P&S working as a group

K&U what seeds need to grow

L&L new language

Creative styles, colours etc

Physical motor skills

 

Evaluation: did the activity go well/ what did the children learn/ what could have been done better or changed to make it work bettter if anything and above all did the children enjoy it.

We have just had to dig all the weeds out of our school garden -the chldren have had a whale of a time- talking about what constitutes a weed, and looking at different parts of the plant. They are even naming all the weeds now!!!

Not dsure about a site thouigh Im sure there must be one.

Hi

 

Take a look at www.bbc.co.uk/gardening - there is a section on gardening with children.

On the Heaven and Earth show on Sunday they featured an organic garden in the grounds of a special needs school and how they use this to cover the curriculum for the children. I didn't catch all of it so I went on the bbc website. They posted another site www.hdra.org.uk, follow the link for organic gardens in schools and you should find activities and links to the curriculum etc.

 

Hope this helps - Julia.
