Acorn Garden Centre

Acorn Garden Centre have a job to do. Nana has given us £10 to spend on seeds and flowers to grow in our garden. She would like us to make more money to spend in our garden. What better than to hold a Garden Party at the end of term for your parents and carers. We have a lot of work to do. First we need to choose which flowers and vegetables to grow. Next we need to plant our seeds. We find out what a plant needs to grow. We planted our own sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. We took our sunflowers home and we will see who can grow the tallest sunflower! We need to look after our garden making sure it has enough water. Our role play garden centre is where we can buy and sell garden tools and wonderful flowers. We even have vegetables to sell. We use many different areas of learning in the garden centre  – writing, maths, reading as well as understanding the world and imaginative play and learning to play with others. Nana also sent us some tiny caterpillars and we watched them grow and change into butterflies before letting them go in the garden. Finally we held our garden party. What  a great afternoon we had and made lots of money towards our new outdoor area.
