One of the things that we would like to achieve in the science strand for kindergarten is to make our children be aware of their surroundings, the life cycles and the patterns in our world.
In line with our field trip to the apple orchard, we read the book, The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree, by Gail Gibbons, where we explored the changes that the apple tree went through the different seasons.
After discussing the changes that the apple tree went through the different seasons, we drew the pictures of the apple tree going through the changes in winter, spring, summer and fall. We talked about apple blossoms growing in the springtime, apples growing in summer, apples ripening in fall while the leaves are changing and how the tree loses its leaves (and apples as well) during winter.
Some of the kids drew their pictures of the life cycle of the apple tree.
While others coloured the pictures of the apple tree, cut and glued them on their worksheets.
At the art centre, we made apple prints using different colours of tempra paints. See the beautiful art in our classroom!
