Our Sunflowers - Part 2


We had let our sunflowers dry out for a few weeks and today it was time to remove the seeds from the plants. There were excited squeals as we gathered together and scraped and flicked the seeds out of the flower heads. Seeds flew everywhere! We ended up with a lot of seeds. We are going to prepare some of them to eat and put away some of them to plant next spring!

Lucy, Casey and Hakeem removing the seeds from the biggest flowers.

Rylan was so excited to find big fat seeds that he put some in his pocket to take home!

Natania and Payton loved picking the little seeds out of the smaller sunflowers.

Olivia and Hakeem showed great attention to detail, leaving no seed behind!

Letter of the Week

This year we are doing phonics in our homerooms. Kiwi class looks at two letters and their matching sounds every week. Weka and Pukeko classes work together on one letter of the week. Each week we have a letter of the week wall where we display all the things we can find that begin with our letter of the week. Last week our letter was H and we had some fun having Harlin Haines wearing a hat on our h wall. Too cute not to share! This week our letter is J so get your thinking caps on Weka and Pukeko classes, what words do you know that start with J?
