As we regularly eat apples for our snack time I though it would be nice for the children to understand a little about where their apples come from.
Using some lovely pictures, courtesy of 'Montessori for everyone', showing the different stages of the apple life cycles. There was a mixed age group today but the children took turns in sticking the pictures in the right order, talking about them and acting out being a tree! Our eldest then practised her presentation skills by putting some writing and arrows on for us. It was then time for a snack so it seemed appropriate to have some apple! The children looked inside the apples to see where the seeds were living and then asked to go and plant some outside.
