Topic!

Today we explored a big question… Can we eat all plants?

We looked, touched and smelled different plants before sorting them into:
✅ Can eat (apple, carrot)
❌ Do not eat (houseplant leaf)

We talked about how some plants are safe and healthy, but some can make us poorly.

Then came the best part… taste testing! 🌿
The children tried fruits, vegetables and herbs, using words like crunchy, soft and smelly. We were so proud of how many children tried something new!

We also learnt:
• Some plants make fruit
• If it has seeds it is a fruit
• Vegetables are different parts of a plant (root, stem, leaves)
• A potato is a root vegetable

💬 Try this at home:
• Let your child help sort foods into fruit and vegetables
• Try a new fruit or vegetable together
• Talk about how it tastes and feels (crunchy, soft, juicy)
• Look for seeds inside fruit
