Did you know? Although chillis and eggplants are often considered to be vegetables, they are actually fruits because they originate from a flowering plant with seeds inside to produce more of the same item. From interesting facts to actual harvesting, children will be introduced to the wonders of gardening as they discover how simple experiments with light, soil, and water combined with tender loving care can result in fresh produce ready for harvest!
Featured Produce
21 – 23 November (Mon – Wed): Chillies (辣椒)
24 – 26 November (Thu – Sat): Eggplants (茄子)
Key Activities
During the programme, children observe the amazing process of growth, learn to appreciate the time needed to grow an edible fruit and hone their research and observational skills during documentation and painting. Our signature B2T method of project learning provides ample opportunities for early exposure to nature, science and visual arts – children will learn the cycle of plant life, create their very own chilli and/or eggplant clay sculptures and enjoy painting them to depict the growth of the plant. Documenting the growing process through observational records, they will engage in scientific thinking as they ask and respond to questions about the growing plant and enhance their cognitive and research abilities through conducting and recording observations. These hands-on activities promote a sense of environment and health awareness while enhancing their knowledge of the origins of foods.
At the end of the sessions, children will participate in the harvesting of the produce to bring it home to share with their families!
